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

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcomas (PAISs) are rare, malignant tumours that arise from the intimal or intramural wall of the pulmonary artery and are often mistaken for pulmonary emboli. Diagnosis and treatment of this condition are difficult due to the lack of formal guidelines. Initiating treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis is essential for maximising survival. Here, we present the case of a patient with a PAIS that initially presented similar to pulmonary thromboembolic disease and was treated with a multimodal approach.
