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

Background: Pulmonary nodular mucinous adenocarcinoma (PNMA) tends to be easily misdiagnosed as tuberculoma in practice. In this study, we aimed to discriminate PNMA from tuberculoma with dynamic computed tomography (CT). Methods: In this study, 38 consecutive pathologically confirmed cases of PNMA and 23 cases of tuberculoma from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. The mean CT attenuations of each lesion were examined. The values on the plain scan, the venous scan, and the enhanced values (CT attenuation of lesion of venous scan minus that of the plain scan) were tested with an independent Results: The mean CT attenuation of tuberculoma shown on the plain scan was significantly higher than that of PNMA (35.15±16.00 Conclusions: The CT attenuation of the plain scan, the enhanced value after enhancement, and the presence of satellite lesions might be useful in differentiating PNMA from tuberculoma.
