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

Primary salivary gland-type tumors may rarely be accompanied by hyperplastic alveolar cells, a pattern referred to as pneumocytic adenomyoepithelioma (PAM). Most previously reported cases have relied solely on immunohistochemical findings. In this report, we present a case involving three distinct types of epithelial cell components, identified through dual immunohistochemical staining for p40/TTF-1, in addition to the detection of HRAS mutation using next-generation sequencing. The female patient, in her 70s, underwent left lower lobectomy after a chest CT scan revealed a 20 mm solid mass in the left lower lobe. The final histopathological diagnosis was a primary pulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMEC). This paper presents a case of a primary pulmonary EMEC exhibiting so-called PAM morphology and includes a brief review of the literature.
