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

BACKGROUND/

aim[ CASE REPORT: An 80-year-old woman with suspected endometrial malignancy underwent FDG-PET/CT, which demonstrated FDG uptake in the uterus and right supraclavicular, mediastinal, and hilar lymph nodes. Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the right supraclavicular lymph node revealed extensive anthracotic pigment deposition without evidence of malignancy. The final diagnosis after surgery was endometrial carcinosarcoma, FIGO stage IIC.

conclusionRight supraclavicular nodal anthracosis may cause false-positive FDG-PET/CT findings, potentially related to lymphatic migration of carbon-laden macrophages via rare variant thoracic duct anatomy. Histologic confirmation is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate disease upstaging.
