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

Bronchogenic cancer can metastasize to several organs of the body. Metastases to skin and subcutaneous tissue are uncommon. We present our experience with the management of a patient with an unusual presentation of bronchogenic carcinoma with multiple skin nodules. In patients with bronchogenic cancer, metastasis to the skin and subcutaneous tissues could heighten the index of suspicion of advanced disease. The nodules should be histologically assessed and if confirmed metastatic, only palliative therapies are indicated.
