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

With the use of high-resolution chest imaging system and lung cancer screening program, patients with multiple primary lung cancers (MPLCs) are becoming a growing population in clinical practice worldwide. The diagnostic criteria for MPLCs has been established and modified by three major lung cancer research institutes. However, due to the fact that the differential diagnosis between MPLCs and a recurrence, metastatic, or satellite lesion arising from the original lesion remains ambiguous and confusing, there is still insufficient evidence to support a uniform guideline. Newly developed molecular and genomic methods have the potential to better define the relationship among multiple lesions and bring the possibility of targeted therapy. Surgical resection remains the first choice for the treatment of MPLCs and detailed strategy should be carefully planned taking characteristics of the tumor and status of patients into consideration. For those who are intolerant to surgery, a new technology called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is now an optional therapeutic strategy. Furthermore, multiple GGOs are unique MPLCs that need special attentions in the clinical practice.
