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

We report a case of a 50-year-old woman presenting with a solid nodule in each lung. She was previously suspected of having lung cancer and distant pulmonary metastasis on the basis of imaging findings. Surgical pathology revealed that the left lung nodule was adenocarcinoma, but the contralateral nodule was papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). We subsequently performed total thyroidectomy, and the histological findings of the resected specimen showed no suspicious tumor tissue. Overall, the results led to a diagnosis of ectopic intrapulmonary PTC with synchronous lung adenocarcinoma. Ectopic intrapulmonary PTC is a rare but true phenomenon that may be easily mistaken for pulmonary metastasis in daily practice. It is important to improve the recognition of ectopic intrapulmonary thyroid tumors to avoid misdiagnosis.
