A rare case of lung squamous cell carcinoma coexisting with pulmonary MALT lymphoma presenting as a progressive pGGN.

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
Pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) presenting as a progressive pure ground-glass nodule (GGN) coexisting with lung squamous cell carcinoma has not been reported. A 65-year-old male presented with a progressive lung GGN in the left upper lobe identified six and a half years ago but showed no symptoms. The patient had a history of tuberculosis, squamous cell carcinoma, and stomach MALT lymphoma. The patient was diagnosed with lung squamous cell carcinoma coexisting with pulmonary MALT lymphoma through computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy. A progressive lung GGN presenting in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma does not always indicate multiple primary lung adenocarcinoma, especially when given a specific medical history. The development of MALT lymphoma in the lung presenting as GGNs suggests a possible association between these two entities.
