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

backgroundDevelopment of primary lung cancer in donor lung post-lung transplantation is very rare, with few described cases. The safety of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for early-stage lung cancer arising from donor lung is unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present a case of a patient with a Stage IB adenocarcinoma arising from donor lung 8 years post-double lung transplantation, which was performed due to advanced emphysema. The patient was ineligible for surgical management due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction, which significantly compromised pulmonary function. Full dose SABR was delivered with curative intent after a discussion with the patient. The patient tolerated the treatment well, with one episode of subacute toxicity that resolved with treatment. There was no evidence of recurrence at 15 months post-treatment and the patient's pulmonary function did not deviate from the pre-SABR baseline.

conclusionsSABR appears feasible for medically-inoperable early-stage primary lung adenocarcinoma in the setting of previous double-lung transplantation.
