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

Endobronchial hamartomas are rare benign bronchial tumors. We describe the case of a 43-year-old man with a cough and fever for 2 months. Initially, the patient was misdiagnosed with obstructive pneumonia caused by a bronchial sputum thrombus, and repeated treatments with antibiotics and mechanical expectoration were unsuccessful. Bronchoscopy revealed that the mass had completely obstructed the lower lobe of the left lung. The electrocautery snare technique was used to completely resect the lesion. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hamartoma. This case serves as an important reference for clinical practice to prevent future misdiagnoses.
