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

Glandular papillomas are the rarest type of solitary endobronchial papillomas of the lung, which are in themselves extremely uncommon, and are mainly described in the literature as case reports. These tumours generally arise from the epithelium of central lobar or segmental bronchi and are thought to be benign, with only a single documented case of malignant transformation to date. Diagnosis may be challenging, and there is no consensus on treatment; however, surgical resection with a parenchymal-sparing approach is an accepted treatment option. In this report, we present two cases of solitary endobronchial glandular papilloma in young females who underwent surgical resection. In one case, we also describe an associated diagnosis of a concurrent pulmonary adenocarcinoma. We aim to contribute to the growing body of literature on these rare neoplasms and highlight the importance of a considered approach to their treatment.
