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

The present case report describes a rare granular cell tumor (GCT) found in the right lower lobe bronchus of a 36-year-old male patient. The tumor was incidentally discovered during preparation for thyroid cancer surgery. The patient had noticed a neck mass 3 months prior to admission, which led to an ultrasound-guided bilateral thyroid mass perforated biopsy and pathological examination. The examination revealed thyroid papillary carcinoma. A chest computed tomography scan showed a mass measuring ~29×23 cm near the right lower lobe hilum. Bronchoscopy, histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of GCT. The patient underwent a successful right lower lobe resection and had a smooth postoperative recovery. Subsequently, 1 month later, the patient underwent thyroid cancer surgery without any complications. The patient was regularly monitored and no specific discomfort was reported during the 18-month follow-up.
