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

Pulmonary blastoma (PB) is a rare and aggressive lung neoplasm, representing 0.25 %-0.50 % of lung cancers and characterized by biphasic histology with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. We report a case of a 16-year-old male non-smoker presenting with hemoptysis and a 2-month history of dry cough and exertional dyspnea. Imaging revealed an ill-defined density in the left lung, and bronchoscopy identified a budding mass in the left bronchus. Biopsy results showed malignant spindle cells, with immunohistochemical staining positive for cytokeratin, vimentin, and TTF1, confirming classic biphasic pulmonary blastoma (CBPB). Further CT scans indicated multiple metastases in the right lung and bones. The patient was referred for palliative chemotherapy due to the tumor's aggressive nature. This case highlights the clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges of PB with endobronchial invasion.
