Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing adrenocortical carcinoma--long survival with various therapeutic strategies including a lung resection: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
We experienced a very rare case of late pulmonary metastasis from ACC. The patient was a 40-year-old woman who had undergone a left adrenectomy 12 years earlier. Instead of a large metastatic lung tumor with hemothorax and the existence of metastases in other organs, combined therapy of repeated resections for metastases and adjuvant therapy allowed for almost a 36-month survival following the first recurrence and a good quality of life. In addition, a blood and pathological study revealed that the tumor in this case was an alpha-fetoprotein-producing ACC, which is, as far as we could ascertain, the first case of its kind.
