A case of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma successfully treated by surgery.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is a very rare tumor and eventually diagnosed by pulmonary resection. A poor prognosis has been reported for this disease, but appropriate treatment has not been established. Here, we report the successful surgical treatment for a primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma. A 70-year-old male presented with cough and a 3.8-cm solid tumor was detected in the right upper lobe of the lung on CT scan. Results of an open lung biopsy indicated carcinoma with indeterminate histological subtype. Right upper lobectomy was performed and the permanent pathological diagnosis was choriocarcinoma. Right after surgery, systemic and genital screening was performed by urologist, but no abnormal findings were observed. Elevation of serum β-hCG was confirmed at the same time and the value dropped within normal range in 2 months. According to diagnosis criteria, we reached final diagnosis of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma. The patient has been alive with no recurrence for 2 years after surgery.
