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

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from extra-adrenal paraganglia that often require intricate surgical resection. Specifically, when paragangliomas are localized within the thorax and coexist with cardiovascular structures, they can be challenging to surgically resect. Here, we aimed to review three cases of paragangliomas intruding the aortopulmonary (AP) window that required cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) as an effective surgical approach. All patients were diagnosed using preoperative biochemical analysis, computed tomography-positron emission tomography (CT-PET) scans, endobronchial ultrasounds, and biopsies. Within these three cases of female patients presenting with paragangliomas within the AP window, we observed a high success rate in complete surgical resection and no long-term recurrence following resections with CPB. Overall, these cases showed that surgical resection of paragangliomas which are intruding vital cardiovascular structures within the AP window can achieve positive long-term patient outcomes when using CPB.
