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 28-year-old man presented with sudden-onset right lower quadrant abdominal pain and shortness of breath at rest. On examination, he had tachycardia with distant heart sounds and right lower quadrant tenderness. A computed tomography scan showed segmental thickening of the proximal ascending colon and ileum with proximal cecal distension. Echocardiogram confirmed large pericardial effusion with impending tamponade. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed for pericardial fluid drainage from a pericardial window. The mediastinal lymph node biopsy revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma cells. A colonoscopy showed a large polypoidal mass in the ascending colon with biopsy confirming poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, thereby suggesting a possible lymphatic or hematogenous spread without liver or lung involvement.
