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

Schwannomas are benign, slow-growing tumors comprising well-differentiated Schwann cells that can arise along the course of nerves in the body. Intrapulmonary schwannoma represents an extremely rare form of neoplasms. Here, we report the case of a 70-year-old man with intrapulmonary schwannoma coexisting with rectal carcinoma and describe related results obtained using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/CT. This case indicates that intrapulmonary schwannoma could appear as a slightly heterogeneous hypodense tumor on CT and as a pulmonary nodule with high signal intensity on T1-weighted images. Although ruling out the possibility of pulmonary metastasis from rectal carcinoma before transbronchial lung biopsy is difficult, the diffusion-weighted image and low 18F-FDG accumulation could provide a clue to diagnose intrapulmonary schwannomas.
