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

Good syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of thymoma in combination with adult-onset hypogammaglobulinemia. Immunological features of Good syndrome include various immunodeficiencies accompanied with hypogammaglobulinemia. In patients with thymoma, paraneoplastic syndromes including hypogammaglobulinemia worsen the prognosis. We herein describe a patient with advanced-stage type A thymoma who was effectively treated with chemotherapy and exhibited a parallel decrease in the serum level of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), which depends on cellular immunity. The present case suggests the efficacy of sIL-2R as a potential prognostic biomarker in a subset of patients with Good syndrome.
