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

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma, a rare pulmonary adenoma, is a diagnostic dilemma because of its vague symptoms, ambiguous radiologic features, and varied histopathologic findings, leading to errors in diagnosis and management. We report a case manifesting with a picture of an aggressive malignant neoplasm that postoperatively proved to be benign. This patient presented with a large intrathoracic mass encompassing the pulmonary vessels in the hilum and extending to the posterior mediastinum. After extensive investigations, operability appeared to be a challenge. Complete surgical resection assisted by cardiopulmonary bypass led to a curative outcome. This rare presentation highlights the deceptive nature of pneumocytomas.
