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

Bronchial diverticulum (BD) is a rare airway abnormality that rarely enlarges significantly or becomes infected. We report a case of an 80-year-old male with a 15-year history of asymptomatic BD that gradually increased in size and eventually developed into an abscess. Chest computed tomography revealed a cystic lesion adjacent to the left main bronchus with internal fluid and surrounding inflammation. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) enabled safe aspiration and identification of alpha-hemolytic
