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 rare, malignant, epithelial tumors of the thymus gland. Extrathoracic metastasis of thymoma is exceedingly rare, particularly when isolated to the liver. We report an 89-year-old man who presented with urinary retention. Exploratory computed tomography imaging revealed a heterogeneous mass in the aortopulmonary window and a 1.9 cm lesion in the left hepatic lobe. Results from magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography-computed tomography, and histopathological analysis of biopsy samples collectively supported a diagnosis of metastatic type B2 thymoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the oldest patient to be diagnosed with metastatic type B2 thymoma. Metastatic thymoma is difficult to identify, and patients with mediastinal mass identified after any presentation should be evaluated for malignant spread.
