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

Primary pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is extremely rare. IMT is an intermediate (rarely metastasizing) mesenchymal neoplasm rather than a conventional sarcoma. We report a case of a 68-year-old female patient who initially presented with generalized skin rash, oral mucosal ulceration, and fever. Chest CT revealed a thoracic mass (initially difficult to determine whether mediastinal or pulmonary in origin). Subsequent thoracotomy and surgical resection with pathological examination confirmed an ALK-rearranged inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (SQSTM1: ALK fusion) of pulmonary origin. Oral mucosal pathology, combined with clinical findings, supported a diagnosis of PNP. This case aims to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with primary pulmonary IMT complicated by PNP. However, the follow-up period was short and systemic immunosuppressive therapy was not administered; this should be regarded as a cautionary note rather than a therapeutic recommendation.
