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

A woman in her 60s with suspected multicentric Castleman's disease, who was receiving treatment with oral prednisolone, presented to our hospital with mild cough and malaise. Chest CT showed diffuse infiltrative and granular shadows, indicating exacerbation of lung lesions caused by steroid-resistant multicentric Castleman's disease. A video-assisted thoracoscopic lung and mediastinal lymph node biopsy was performed. The biopsy revealed mediastinal lymph node tissue consistent with multicentric Castleman's disease, as well as presence of
