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 advent of advanced technology in performing diagnostics for lung cancer, an incremental increase in the number of patients with oligometastatic disease is currently being managed with intent to cure. As treatment of selected types of patients with oligometastasis show favourable outcomes, the past notion of managing these patients palliatively is fast becoming extinct. Selection of patients based on established criterion together with surgical metastasectomy combined with multiple ablative techniques with or without systemic chemotherapy offers a reasonable rate of treatment success which provides basis for treating such patient population. As more evidence becomes available to suggest that the oligometastatic state of lung cancer does exist, and are potentially curable, a better understanding of the condition is necessary for clinicians, and surgeons to provide optimal care. In this review we present some of the clinical basis which may cause a paradigm shift in management of patients with oligometastatic lung disease.
