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

Introduction and importance: The coexistence of sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP) and typical carcinoid (TC) within the same lesion is extremely rare. Case presentation: The patient is a 66-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have a 2.2 cm nodule in the right upper lobe during a routine physical examination using computed tomography. A wedge resection of the right upper lobe via thoracoscopy was performed, confirming that the tumor was a mixture of SP and TC by immunohistochemistry. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed during the follow-up period of 15 months. Clinical discussion: A case of SP and TC coexisting in the same mass caused the diagnostic challenges and required clinicopathologic correlation analysis because of the rarity. Conclusion: We reviewed the relevant literature to enhance our understanding of the pathologic diagnosis and pathogenesis of this case and to provide valuable insights for the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.
