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

In patients with lung malignancy, the development of malignant hypercalcemia (MH) carries a dismal prognosis and represents a major therapeutic challenge given that conventional medical treatments have limited durability. Robust and lasting hypercalcemic reversal and symptomatic relief have been documented following surgical tumor resection. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment modality in medically inoperable patients with Stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the current report, SBRT achieved durable tumor control and calcemic correction in a medically inoperable 79 year-old man with Stage I NSCLC patient with parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP)-induced MH.
