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 70-year-old man diagnosed with right-sided malignant epithelial pleural mesothelioma, underwent pleurectomy/decortication after three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. He had a history of mitral valve replacement and maze procedure with median sternotomy, and the procedures resulted in strong adhesion from the apex to the mediastinal side. In particular, the peeling of the area where the tumor invaded the pericardium required the most attention; however, the involved pericardium could be partially resected without damaging the right atrium. Finally, en bloc macroscopic complete resection with the entire pleura was successfully performed without conversion to extrapleural pneumonectomy.
