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 teratomas are extremely rare extragonadal neoplasms. As the clinical features are non-specific, the diagnosis rests on the radiological findings. The characteristic computed tomography (CT) findings of a teratoma in the lung include heterogenous lobulated mass containing soft tissue, fat, fluid, and/or calcification. However, at times these distinctive findings may be absent and the diagnosis is revealed only after surgery. We report a case of intrapulmonary mature teratoma in a patient where the preoperative diagnosis of aspergilloma was considered based on the imaging findings. We discuss some imaging findings that may help differentiate intra-pulmonary teratoma with aspergilloma. We also present a review of all published cases where teratoma mimicked as some other pulmonary lesions.
