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 67-year-old man presenting with a 9-month history of intermittent cough and chest pain. Dual-energy CT (DECT) demonstrated: (1) continuous filling defects extending from the main pulmonary artery through the right pulmonary artery into multiple segmental branches; (2) a middle mediastinal soft tissue mass closely related to the left pulmonary artery, left atrium, and left superior pulmonary vein, with spectral curve slope matching that of the intraluminal lesion in the pulmonary artery; (3) multiple irregular aneurysms in the left lower pulmonary artery; (4) cavitation in the right lung. Pulmonary artery biopsy confirmed undifferentiated pulmonary artery sarcoma. Pulmonary angiography revealed multiple left pulmonary artery aneurysms, and the right lung cavitation improved with antifungal therapy. This case demonstrates that pulmonary artery sarcoma can metastasize to the mediastinum, with metastatic lesions invading arteries and causing aneurysms. DECT plays a crucial role in diagnosis.
