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

Enteric‑type thymic adenocarcinoma (ETAC) is a rare subtype of thymic carcinoma. It shares highly similar histological and immunophenotypic features with intestinal adenocarcinoma, and is therefore prone to being misdiagnosed as metastatic carcinoma of gastrointestinal origin. Herein, we report a case of advanced ETAC with axillary lymph node oligometastasis. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed to rule out primary gastrointestinal malignancy. The patient underwent median sternotomy with extended thymectomy, which effectively relieved superior vena cava obstruction and cardiopulmonary compressive symptoms. Postoperatively, systemic chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, as well as regional radiotherapy targeting the primary tumor bed and metastatic lymph nodes, were administered. The patient remained disease‑free during the 24‑month postoperative follow‑up. This case suggests that aggressive local therapy combined with molecular‑subtype‑based systemic treatment may offer novel therapeutic opportunities for carefully selected patients with advanced ETAC and oligometastases.
