Past, present, and future perspectives of pulmonary metastasectomy for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
Review in Surgery today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Over a half-century has passed since Thomford et al. proposed the selection criteria for pulmonary metastasectomy, and several prognostic factors have been identified. Although screening modalities and operations have changed dramatically, the important concepts of the selection criteria remain unchanged. Recent improvements in the survival outcomes of colorectal cancer patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy may be the result of strict adherence to the selection criteria for oligometastatic lung tumors, which can mimic local disease. Pulmonary metastasectomy has become an important option for selected patients with oligometastasis, based mainly on a large amount of retrospective data, but its effect on survival remains unclear. Curable pulmonary metastasis might be regarded as a "semi-local disease" under the spontaneous control of an acquired alteration in host immune status. The current practice of pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer focuses on selecting the most appropriate operation for selected patients. However, in the rapidly evolving era of immunotherapy, treatment-naïve patients for whom surgery is not suitable might be pre-conditioned by immunotherapy so that they may be considered for salvage surgery.
