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

backgroundPulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) is a rare disease that can occur in women with a history of uterine leiomyoma. Despite its benign histological features, like a malignancy, leiomyomas can on rare occasion spread to the lung. Typically, PBML presents with asymptomatic multiple solid lung nodules with slow tumor progression, following hysterectomy. Here, we present an atypical case with rapid enlargement of PBML with fluid-containing cystic change. CASE PRESENTATION: We experienced a case of a 49-year-old woman with bilateral lung nodules following hysterectomy. Two nodules in the right lung had cystic change with fluid in the tumors. Hormone therapy was initiated after surgical biopsy of the left lung confirmed a diagnosis of PBML. However, the cystic component of right upper lobe lesion enlarged rapidly over the following 7 months, and, considering the risk of malignant transformation or tumor rupture, right upper lobectomy was performed. Pathologically, the fluid-containing tumor was diagnosed as PBML.

conclusionGiven the risk of rapid progression, we should carefully consider the surgical indications of fluid-containing PBML.
