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

An 84-year-old man with a history of progressive interstitial pneumonia presented to our department with lung cancer (cT2aN0M0-IB) in right S6. Moreover, computed tomography revealed progressive diffuse pulmonary ossification in the bilateral lower pulmonary lobes. S6 segmentectomy was performed via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. It was difficult to divide the intersegmental plane using a stapler because of severe fibrosis and pulmonary ossification with bone marrow formation. Pulmonary ossification may be an important finding for surgical planning because of severe fibrosis or inflammation associated with severe lung condition. We suggest that the surgical indications and approaches for such cases should be reconsidered because pulmonary ossification can be associated with severe lung conditions.
