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

Thymomas are a variant of thymic epithelial tumours. They are considered malignant due to their tendency to local invasion and they showed lower metastatic behaviour. Distal metastasis is rare and an endobronchial mass is a rare presentation. First-line treatment for early-stage thymomas is surgery; for Masaoka-Koga stage III, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemoradiation therapy should be considered in association with surgery after Multidisciplinary Tumour Board evaluation. We report a rare case of radical resection with type A extended-sleeve lobectomy in a 63-year-old woman who was affected by endobronchial recurrence of B3 thymoma, 31 months after complete and radical thymectomy.
