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

The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features of lupus-like lung adenocarcinoma, thus improving both the recognition of lupus mimickers and diagnosis accuracy. We collected three cases of lung adenocarcinoma in which the clinical characteristics and laboratory profiles imitated systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in our hospital, and also we had a literature review using search engine. There are few reports of lung adenocarcinoma for which the clinical and laboratory profiles meet the criteria for SLE diagnosis. Follow-up and pathological biopsy are beneficial for the differential diagnosis. Few lung adenocarcinoma cases resemble SLE. Gene pleiotropy and immune dysregulation might be contributing factors. Lung adenocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of SLE. Follow-up and pathological biopsy should be improved to enable early detection of lung adenocarcinoma-associated lupus-like conditions.
