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

Background: Pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is a rare malignant tumour of pulmonary vessels. Due to the lack of specific clinical symptoms, PAS is easily misdiagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism, so that many patients miss the opportunity of early diagnosis and treatment. Case summary: A 42-year-old man presented to the hospital with a heart murmur on physical examination. After admission, he underwent serial imaging studies and was diagnosed with a pulmonary artery mass. Guided by multimodal imaging, the patient underwent surgical treatment, and post-operative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of PAS. Eighteen months after the operation, the patient's follow-up examination results indicated tumour recurrence. Discussion: This case emphasizes the advantages of combining multiple imaging modalities in the early identification of PAS and in guiding surgical management.
