Primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma in non-endemic region: A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationalePulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare type of lung squamous cell carcinoma. In situ hybridization test for Epstein-Bar virus-encoded RNA (EBER) is generally used for distinguishing it from other lung cancers. Although plasma EBV DNA quantification has been widely used as a tumor biomarker in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), only a limiting number of studies have suggested that plasma EBV DNA quantification may be used as a tumor marker in pulmonary LELC patients. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report two female patients diagnosed as poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, subsequently, their further histological examinations showed that tumor cells were EBER positive and plasma EBV DNA was detectable. DIAGNOSES: Two patients was diagnosed with advanced pulmonary LELC.
interventionsThe patients were treated with chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy respectively. OUTCOMES: Both patients responded well to our treatment, in accordance with their decreased EBV DNA level. LESSONS: Pulmonary LELC is a rare type of lung cancer which is sensitive to chemoradiotherapy, especially in late staged patients.
