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

This case report features a patient with an invasive thymoma. The patient presented with an anterior mediastinal mass that invaded the left brachiocephalic trunk vein, resulting in the formation of a carcinoma thrombus in the right atrium, superior vena cava, left brachiocephalic trunk vein, and left internal jugular vein (Masaoka stage IV). No indication for surgery was assessed by surgical consultation. After six cycles of chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy, the tumor size decreased from 72.43 to 24 mm, showing a significant improvement in patient efficacy. After a follow-up of 50 months, the patient remained well, without local recurrence or distal metastasis, and maintained a partial response (PR).
