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 most prevalent symptom of Castleman disease, a rare lymphoproliferative condition with an unclear etiology, is a mediastinal nodal mass. While it is quite uncommon in youngsters, it is prevalent in adults. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy who was admitted to the department of surgery for acute right-sided abdominal pain, with suspected acute appendicitis. Preoperative imaging investigation of the abdomen showed an inflammatory appendix as well a large mesenteric mass. Histopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and mesenteric mass unicentric Castleman after resection by laparoscopic approach.
