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

We report a case of a 73-year-old male with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who underwent a restaging CT during treatment, which raised concern for a coexisting pathology. Consequently, a CT-guided biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of a second malignancy, an epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE), was made. This is an exceptionally rare finding, given that the estimated incidence of EHE is only 0.4 cases per million per year. The patient has multifocal disease, with multiple pulmonary nodules and paravertebral/intercostal masses. Treatment with pazopanib was initiated early on due to the patient's significant systemic symptoms and recurrent malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). Definitive pleural interventions, including talc pleurodesis and indwelling pleural catheter placement, were provided but were ultimately unsuccessful, and the effusion became loculated. The patient continues to suffer from extreme breathlessness. Given the significant impact on the quality of life of patients, this report delves into the complex management of MPEs in EHE.
