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 herein report a case of polyclonal hyperglobulinemia with multiple pulmonary cysts and nodules. The histopathological findings allowed us to speculate about the mechanism underlying cyst formation in these pathological conditions, which has not yet been thoroughly elucidated. The patient was a 49-year-old woman who presented with multiple pulmonary multilocular cysts and nodules. A lung biopsy revealed features of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia. Notably, lung structure fragmentation was evident, suggesting that structural destruction may have accompanied the disease during its course. The cysts were considered to have formed due to destruction of the lung structures.
