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 mesothelioma with a clear cell morphology is rare and has only been described in a few case reports. The diagnosis of epithelioid clear cell mesothelioma is challenging and often requires extensive immunohistochemical staining. Here, we report a case of epithelioid mesothelioma, clear cell variant, occurring in the peritoneum of a 76-year-old male. Computed Tomography(CT)imaging revealed a localized irregular intra-abdominal mass measuring approximately 6.0×5.0cm. Combined with histomorphology and immunophenotype analysis, the patient was diagnosed with localized epithelioid clear cell mesothelioma. There was no recurrence or metastasis after 24 months of follow-up. This case enriches the clinical and molecular data of localized peritoneal epithelioid clear cell mesothelioma, and provides insights into its diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment.
