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

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare, poorly differentiated, subtype of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and constitutes approximately 0.1% to 0.5% of all lung malignancies. PSC can be divided into five subtypes based on the 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lung tumors: pleomorphic carcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, giant cell carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, and pulmonary blastoma. Some imaging characteristics can be found for PSC although no special symptoms. The accurate pathological diagnosis of PSC can be a significant challenge, which depends on pathology and immunohistochemistry. PSC should be managed similar to other NSCLC, surgical resection is the standard management for early stage cases, moreover, multimodal treatment should be considered. However, PSC is insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and has high rate of local and metastatic recurrence and poor prognosis. With the development of molecular pathology, targeted therapy and immunotherapy may have broad prospects.
