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

Teratomas are a type of germ cell tumor that may contain several different types of tissue. Neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor with the plexiform type being pathognomonic for neurofibromatosis type 1. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with a background of Neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with left-sided chest pain and shortness of breath. She was diagnosed with a large mediastinal mass which was confirmed from a CT-guided biopsy as neurofibroma. Following a multidisciplinary team discussion, she underwent mediastinal mass resection and the final histopathology report revealed mediastinal mature teratoma.
