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

Background: Bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare pediatric malignant neoplasm of difficult diagnosis. Case Description: We report on the case of a 15-year-old patient who presented with cough, fever, left chest pain, and difficulty breathing. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed collapse of the left lung with a solid mass with poorly defined margins located close to the left lung hilum, and another smaller enhancing solid nodule located adjacent to the aortic arch. Biopsy of the lesion revealed a malignant epithelial neoplasm with clear cell morphology, overexpression of TFE3 by immunohistochemistry (IHC), but without TFE3 rearrangement by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. Transcriptome [RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)] analysis of the specimen was positive for Conclusions: Clinical presentation of bronchial MEC is similar to that of other pulmonary neoplasms. In our challenging case, the identification of
