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

Pulmonary carcinoid tumorlets are a cluster of neuroendocrine cells in the lung, which invade the basement membrane and are less than 5 mm in size. While similar to carcinoid tumors in all regards, they are differentiated from carcinoid tumors purely based on their size. They are generally considered benign, but lymph nodal involvement has been described in the past. It is unclear if lymph nodal involvement is due to metastasis to the lymph node or synchronous de novo proliferation of neuroendocrine cells in the lymph node as well. Here, we describe a patient with adenocarcinoma of the lung who was incidentally detected to have a pulmonary carcinoid tumorlet and a carcinoid tumorlet in the mediastinal lymph node.
