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

A mediastinal mass can be incidentally detected during transesophageal echocardiography, so clinicians performing this procedure should be aware of this possibility and able to interpret related echocardiographic findings. In evaluating a 69-year-old man with dyspnea, mitral stenosis was identified on transthoracic echocardiography. Subsequently, during transesophageal echocardiography, a mediastinal mass in the posterior mediastinum was observed. The computed tomography scan confirmed the transesophageal echocardiography findings and suggested that lymphoma and metastatic malignancy should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
