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 present the case of a 75-year-old female in which a pulmonary tumor embolism was detected incidentally on a prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography restaging scan. This occurred on the background of renal cell carcinoma in remission with pazopanib systemic therapy and a right nephrectomy 4 years prior. An avidity to prostate-specific membrane antigen in the superior lingula of the left upper lobe of the lung coupled with contrast-enhanced computed tomography findings found the lesion to be a tumor thrombus. This case serves to highlight the effectiveness of incorporating contrast-enhanced computed tomography with prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography and to consider the rare diagnosis of a pulmonary tumor embolism.
