1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A 34-year-old woman visited our hospital because she had had abdominal bloating for 2 months. She had been diagnosed with invasive thymoma (WHO pathological type B2), for which she had undergone chemotherapy and total thymectomy 10 years previously. Six years previously, pleural dissemination was diagnosed and she had undergone right extra-pleural pneumonectomy. On presentation to our hospital, abdominal computed tomography and ultrasound scans revealed abundant ascites and a huge liver lesion, likely a metastasis from her thymoma, obstructing the inferior vena cava. The serum-ascites albumin gradient was high at 1.4 g/dL, which indicated portal hypertension. We diagnosed Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by liver metastasis from a previous thymoma. Steroid therapy resulted in shrinkage of her liver tumor and a marked decrease in her ascites. Although rare, Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by liver metastasis from a thymoma is a possible serious complication of advanced invasive thymoma.
