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 tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare manifestation of malignancy. The antemortem diagnosis is difficult, since patients present with rapidly progressive symptoms. We recently observed a case of PTTM following lymphedema of the lower extremities. We did not reach a diagnosis, even after performing BAL and TBLB. The patient manifested pulmonary hypertension and died on the 9th day of admission. Autopsy revealed a tumor embolism in the pulmonary arterioles accompanied by fibrocellular epithelial cell proliferation, but the primary organ was not identified. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PTTM with lymphedema.
