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

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAIS) is a rare tumor with an incidence of 0.001%-0.03% that usually grows along artery walls and absorbs fluorodeoxyglucose. It is difficult to distinguish PAIS from pulmonary thromboembolism due to the similarities of their symptoms. Therefore, contrast-enhanced computed tomography and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) should be used to establish a correct diagnosis. Here we report a case of an extremely rare type of PAIS, pedunculated PAIS, which could not be visualized on PET-CT. Histological features of a tumor with a low accumulation of fluorodeoxyglucose revealed low-cellularity and necrotizing background. Multimodal imaging was useful to diagnose PET-CT negative PAIS accurately. <
