Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundLung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among veterans-as well as the US population-despite veterans' access to advanced medical technologies within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). To improve outcomes, the VHA launched 3 lung cancer treatment initiatives in 2016 and 2017. OBSERVATIONS: This article summarizes the VHA lung cancer initiatives and discusses future programs aimed to improve care for veterans. The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Partnership to Increase Access to Lung Screening aims to reduce lung cancer mortality among veterans at risk by increasing access to low-dose computed tomography lung screening scans. The VALOR study is a randomized phase 3 clinical trial that evaluates optimal treatment for participants with operable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This trial plans to enroll veterans with stage I NSCLC who will be randomly assigned to treatment with either surgical lobectomy or stereotactic body radiation therapy. Researchers will follow each participant for at least 5 years to evaluate which treatment, if either, results in a higher overall survival rate. The VA Radiation Oncology Quality Surveillance program compares treatment of veterans with lung cancer in the VHA with quality standards recommended by nationally recognized experts in lung cancer care.
conclusionsThe VHA continues to prioritize resources to improve and assure optimal outcomes for veterans with lung cancer. Future efforts include creating a national network of lung cancer centers of excellence to ensure that treatment decisions for veterans with lung cancer are based on all available molecular information, including data on pharmacogenomic profiles.
