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

In patients with membranous nephropathy (MN), malignancy may be either the underlying disease or results of immunosuppressive therapy which may also lead to opportunistic infections including the pulmonary cryptococcosis. On CT scan, nodule is the most common feature in pulmonary cryptococcosis and it can mimic lung cancer both clinically and radiologically. Therefore, pulmonary nodular lesions caused by cryptococcosis may be easily misdiagnosed and require unnecessary surgical treatment. As such, we herein presented an isolated subpleural solitary nodule with satellite lesion that closely mimicked lung cancer on both contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and
