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 artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare disease. Its causes can be varied and, in some patients, unidentified. Diagnosis is problematic because most patients are completely asymptomatic or present with nonspecific symptoms. Given the rarity of PAA, definitive treatment is still under research. We present the case of a healthy 47-year-old man who had some discomfort during an exercise routine and, because of his family cardiac history, presented to our office. On further evaluation, a giant idiopathic PAA was detected and successfully treated.
