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

backgroundMediastinal bronchogenic cysts and pericardial defects are both rare. It is extremely rare that both occur simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a coexistent bronchogenic cyst and pericardial defect reported in China. We performed a literature review and found a relationship between bronchogenic cysts and pericardial defects, which further revealed the correlation between the bronchus and pericardium during embryonic development. CASE SUMMARY: A 14-year-old boy attended a local hospital for ankylosing spondylitis. Chest radiography showed an enhanced circular-density shadow near the left mediastinum. The patient had no chest symptoms and the physical examination was normal. Because of the mediastinal occupation, the patient visited our department of chest surgery for further treatment. During surgery, a left pericardial defect was observed. The bronchogenic cyst was removed by thoracoscopic surgery, but the pericardial defect remained untreated, and a satisfactory outcome was achieved after the operation. The patient was diagnosed with a mediastinal tumor. The pathological diagnosis of the tumor was a bronchogenic cyst.

conclusionThis case further reveals the correlation between the bronchus and pericardium during embryonic development.
