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

introductionSmall cell carcinoma constitutes the most aggressive type of lung cancer, with the greatest propensity for early disseminated disease. Although commonly neglected due to its rarity and the presence of other comorbidities, cases of iris metastasis from small cell lung cancer have been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 76-year-old female. Once diagnosed, the patient already had disseminated disease with metastatic foci found in the spleen, liver, and brain. The patient received six cycles of combination carboplatin/etoposide chemotherapy, followed by cranial irradiation. After an initial response, two months after the completion of cranial irradiation, the patient complained of visual impairment and was referred to an ophthalmologist. A diagnosis of secondary glaucoma was made, caused by metastasis to the left iris.

conclusionsPhysicians should be aware of this rare site of metastasis. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance in order to effectively prevent the significant morbidity this condition can cause if left untreated.
