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 malignant mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy that arises from the epithelial cells that line visceral cavities. The primary pleural presentation is known as the most commonly seen presentation and is best recognized clinically. Less commonly, mesothelioma can arise from epithelial cells lining other visceral cavities, including the peritoneum and pericardium. Primary peritoneal presentations are often difficult to diagnose due to vague symptoms such as abdominal distention, anorexia, and diffuse pain. These symptoms overlap with those of many more common gastrointestinal conditions, often leading to delayed diagnosis. We report a male in his 40s with a past medical history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus type 2 who presented to the emergency room with non-specific abdominal complaints. He had a history of longstanding work on demolition sites. Treatment was initiated following studies that tested positive for
