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
backgroundLung cancer is the primary cause of death among all cancers in China. However, clinical and pathological features and trends among patients with lung cancer in mainland China are largely unknown. This study analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and trends of patients newly diagnosed as lung cancer and underwent surgery in a tertiary cancer hospital of north China between 2000 and 2013.
methodsData were collected retrospectively from medical records. Pathological diagnosis was confirmed by surgery or puncture, bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, and sputum cytology.
resultsThis study included 3,733 patients with lung cancer (2,252 male and 1,481 female; male-to-female 1.52:1). An increase in the incidence of lung cancer was observed among women. The most frequently observed pathology types were adenocarcinoma (ADC, 63.41%), squamous cell carcinoma (SQ, 24.48%), and small cell carcinoma (SCC, 3.08%). There was a decrease in the proportion of SQ cases and increase in ADC cases. The proportion of male patients with SQ and female patients with ADC increased. Differences between men and women in the distribution of lesions according to pathology were as follows: ADC and SQ were present in 49.73% and 35.92% of male patients, respectively, and in 84.20% and 7.09% of female patients, respectively. Comparing the time period 2000-2006 and 2007-2013, there were no changes in the distribution of pathology among men, while the proportion of ADC and SQ cases among women increased from 74.43% to 85.90% and decreased from 15.07% to 5.71%, respectively.
conclusionsThe proportion of female patients with lung cancer who could undergo surgery increased significantly. The proportion of patients with SQ decreased while that of ADC increased, and the increase of ADC was mainly due to the increase in the number of female patients with ADC.
