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

backgroundThe preoperative diagnosis of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is complicated since PSP has several histological structural patterns in the same neoplasm; hence, it is sometimes pathologically misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma or carcinoid. In recent years, with the prevalence of transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBLC), we are able to obtain larger specimens than previously. However, to date, there have been no reports describing PSP diagnosed using TBLC. CASE REPORTS: A 43-year-old man was referred to our hospital for an abnormal lesion in the left lung discovered on routine health examination. A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed a 14-mm heterogeneous round nodule with surrounding ground-glass opacity in the left lower lobe. The tumor size increased to 18 mm in three weeks, and he developed bloody sputum. TBLC was performed using radial endobronchial ultrasonography and fluoroscopy. An occlusion balloon and prophylactic epinephrine were used to prevent severe bleeding. Histologically, epithelioid cells with solid proliferation, various papillary lesions, and hemosiderin-laden histiocytes were observed. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the histiocytes positive for thyroid transcription factor-1 and vimentin, and the type II pneumocyte-like-cells positive for cytokeratin 7. The tumor was preoperatively diagnosed as a PSP; the patient underwent left basal segmentectomy and consequently, a final diagnosed of PSP was formulated.

conclusionWe report the first case of PSP preoperatively diagnosed using TBLC. Therefore, cryobiopsy could be beneficial in the preoperative diagnosis of PSP.
