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

backgroundGenerally, primary pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma is resistant to treatment and has a poor prognosis. We report a case of resected primary pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with long-term survival after multidisciplinary treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old man with a history of emphysema, pneumoconiosis, and chronic bronchitis presented with left lung nodule and left adrenal tumor based on computed tomography. We suspected clinical T1bN0M1b, stage IVB lung cancer. Adrenalectomy of the left adrenal tumor yielded a definitive diagnosis of pleomorphic carcinoma. Chemotherapy was performed despite the spontaneous regression of lung lesions. Since lung lesions re-enlarged 11 months after adrenalectomy, the left lower lobe was partially resected followed by chemotherapy. The lung lesion was the primary lesion of the adrenal tumor. There was no recurrence 100 months after the lung resection.

conclusionsThe patient experienced long-term survival after multidisciplinary treatment. Both multidisciplinary treatment and immunological mechanisms caused spontaneous regression of the primary lesion.
