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

backgroundPulmonary typical carcinoid occurring in hypoplasia of the right middle lobe is very rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A routine examination's chest X-ray revealed an abnormal shadow in the right middle lung field of an 82-year-old Japanese woman. A chest computed tomography scan showed a solid 2.5 × 2.0-cm nodule in the very small right middle lobe. A trans-bronchial lung biopsy of the mass in the right middle lobe was performed; it revealed atypical cells with round nuclei growing in multiple foci, and immunostaining was positive for chromogranin A, synaptophysin and CD56, suggesting pulmonary carcinoid. The preoperative clinical diagnosis of primary lung cancer, cT1cN0M0 stage IA3 was considered. A right middle lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection were performed by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Intraoperatively, the middle lobe of the right lung was very small, with 1- to 2-mm-dia. pulmonary arteries and veins that were considered hypoplastic. The final histopathological diagnosis was typical carcinoid, pT2aN0M0 stage IB based on the presence of pleural invasion.

conclusionsIncluding the present patient, only nine cases of lung cancer occurring within pulmonary hypoplasia have been reported, most of which were typical carcinoid.
