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

Mucinous adenocarcinoma is an unusual histological type of lung cancer, and its clinicopathological feature is distinctive from that of other histopathological types of lung adenocarcinoma. Mucinous adenocarcinoma has a mucus-producing function, which explains its name. The present study reports a rare case of a mucus-producing adenocarcinoma of the lung. A 60-year-old Chinese female patient was diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung, which manifested as respiratory symptoms, including fever, cough and expectoration. The patient received thoracic exploratory operation and right pneumonectomy, since the above respiratory symptoms seriously affected her daily life, and other inspections could not establish the diagnosis. Histopathology revealed no mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy using taxol and cisplatin. However, metastases in the left lung were detected 7 months after the operation. Pemetrexed and cisplatin were used as the second-line treatment. The patient survived 3 years after the initial diagnosis. The present study reports a rare mucus-producing adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is of bad prognosis. Therefore, further studies on this type of cancer are urgently required.
