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

backgroundCASE SUMMARY: Three male pediatric patients in good health were hospitalized because of chest pain without cough or fever. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed pleural-based nodules and consolidation with cavitation. A lung biopsy was performed in one case, and

conclusionPC can also occur in immunocompetent children. When encountering children with chest pain only in the clinic, one should be vigilant about PC, promptly complete the relevant examinations, and avoid misdiagnosis.
