Lung cancer mimicking aortic dissecting aneurysm in a patient with situs inversus totalis.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lung cancer and situs inversus totalis are two completely irrelevant conditions. The likelihood of both conditions occurring simultaneously in one person is very rare. We report here a case of a 50-year-old man who presented with intermittent chest pain. Enhanced computed tomography of the chest showed situs inversus totalis and a round mediastinal mass embracing the thoracic aorta. The primary diagnosis was suggested as pseudo aortic dissecting aneurysm. However, a tumor in the right lower lung was discovered during surgery, which enclosed and invaded the thoracic aorta. Finally, the patient successfully underwent right lower lobectomy accompanied by lymph node excision and partial replacement of the thoracic aorta with an artificial vascular graft under cardio-pulmonary bypass.
