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

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasm arising from the malignant transformation of chorionic-type intermediate trophoblastic cells, with important clinical implications, particularly regarding fertility-sparing management in selected patients. At present, most of the ETT cases reported in the literature are characterized by primary lesions of reproductive system origin, with or without distant metastasis. Here, we report a case of isolated pulmonary ETT without a primary uterine lesion. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) single-port right lower lobectomy. The postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed pulmonary ETT. This article also reviews its clinical features, imaging manifestations, histopathological characteristics, and treatment options in the context of the literature, which helps to gain a deeper understanding of this rare isolated pulmonary ETT and provides new ideas for clinical diagnosis.
