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

Most lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) occur in the salivary glands and are considered one of the autoimmune syndromes caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this report, we present a case of pulmonary LEC without prior HIV infection, paying special attention to radiographic features. A chest radiograph revealed an oval mass with a smooth surface, localized in the left lower lung field, which was in direct contact with the diaphragm. Computed tomography showed an oval homogenous mass with a smooth surface in the lower left lobe. Further, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the mass was a homogeneous internal structure with a smooth surface and a slightly high signal in T2-weighted images and a slightly low signal in T1-weighted images. Surgical resection was performed, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a pulmonary LEC. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of pulmonary LECs without prior HIV infection have been reported in the literature to date, therefore, the case presented here is considered very rare and informative.
