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

introductionThymic epithelial tumors (TETs), including thymomas and thymic carcinomas. Thymomas are rare tumors, but are one of the most common mediastinal neoplasms in adults. The pathology of thymoma with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and severe pancytopenia is rarely reported. Thus, the current study demonstrates a case of thymoma with SLE and immune-related anemia with unique clinical manifestation. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 27-year-old woman suffered from abdominal pain, arthralgia, intermittent high fever for a long time. DIAGNOSIS: Based on the clinical and histopathological manifestations, diagnosis of thymoma with SLE and immune-related anemia was established.

interventionsPatient was treated with methylprednisolone and a complete thymectomy and thymomectomy, the CAP regimen was given 4 times of adjuvant chemotherapy after the operation. OUTCOMES: After inter-disciplinary consultation as well as extensive discussion and steroid pulse therapy underwent surgery, the patient's blood count and immune function gradually entry sent back to normal.

conclusionwe present the diagnosis and treatment of a case of thymoma with SLE and immune-related anemia, and provides references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of thymoma combined with SLE, and attempts to explain that SLE patients with thymoma may contribute to the clinical remission of SLE after thymoma resection. It should arouse the attention of clinicians when diagnosing and treating related diseases.
