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 a rare case of a 45-year-old woman with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome and eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE). She experienced cough, sputum, and dyspnea with a large right pleural effusion. Laboratory tests showed eosinophilia in the blood and pleural fluid. An ovarian tumor and ascites were also detected. After left salpingo-oophorectomy, the tumor was diagnosed as a mature cystic teratoma of the left ovary. The right-sided pleural effusion gradually resolved. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is characterized by benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion. Typically, it is associated with exudate pleural effusion characterized by a predominance of mononuclear cells. The occurrence of eosinophilic pleural effusion in our patient may be exceptionally rare.
