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

backgroundSclerosing pneumocytoma is a benign tumor that occurs mostly in the lungs and very rarely in the middle mediastinum. It may be difficult to diagnose, as its radiological features and histologic heterogeneity mimic malignancy; therefore a histopathologic examination is required to establish a definitive diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 52-year-old woman who was found to have a tumor in the middle mediastinum on a chest CT scan and was referred to our hospital for resection. We performed a resection of the mediastinal tumor, assuming it was thymoma or teratoma, via video-assisted thoracic surgery. Histopathological analysis of the mediastinal tumor revealed it to be a sclerosing pneumocytoma.

conclusionsHerein, we presented a case of a very rare sclerosing pneumocytoma originating from the middle mediastinum where video-assisted thoracic surgery allowed for minimally invasive resection and histopathological diagnosis of the tumor. Such procedures should be considered as the histopathological diagnosis of the tumor may help determine the optimal treatment options.
