Prospective registry database of patients with malignant mesothelioma: directions for a future Japanese registry-based lung cancer study.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. 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
backgroundThe International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, in collaboration with members of the International Mesothelioma Interest Group (IMIG), developed a large international database and TNM-based system to study malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). However, this database has some limitations since it was a retrospective study and it was based predominantly on surgical cases. The Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry (JJCLCR) employs a project of prospective registry database of patients in Japan with MPM in order to clarify MPM's epidemiology, current management practices, and prognosis and also to investigate the potential capabilities to target the best patients for therapy.
methodsTumor stage is described using the 7th and 8th versions of IMIG staging system. This prospective cohort study has been conducted from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2019. DISCUSSION: We will analyze the data in this registry to determine the most recent outcomes and trends related to MPM treatment in Japan. The present prospective study is expected to validate the 8th version of IMIG staging system, and to investigate whether tumor thickness is a reliable T-descriptor.
