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

Thymic hyperplasia with lymphoepithelial sialadenitis-like features (LESA-like TH) is a rare benign thymic lesion sometimes associated with autoimmune diseases or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. A 47-year-old man was incidentally found to have 2 anterior mediastinal masses. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed irregularly walled cysts, and positron emission tomography-CT demonstrated partial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake. A total thymectomy was performed, and histopathology confirmed LESA-like TH. This is the first report to document both imaging-visible multiplicity and FDG avidity in LESA-like TH, which broadens the recognized imaging spectrum of this rare thymic lesion.
