Association of cancer screening and residing in a coal-polluted East Asian region with overall survival of lung cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The Xuanwei-Fuyuan (XF) region of Yunnan, China has a high incidence of lung cancer from coal-related pollution. Effort to raise public awareness screening for lung cancer has been ongoing. We retrospectively analyzed overall survival (OS) of lung cancer patients of a tertiary cancer center in Yunnan to investigate screening and regional residential status as predictive factors. Consecutive cases of newly diagnosed lung cancer were reviewed. The lung cancer cases diagnosed by screening were more likely to be early-staged and treated by surgery than those diagnosed not by screening. In patients diagnosed not by screening, XF residential status was a significant predictor of improved OS. Frailty model detected significant heterogeneity associated with region of residence in unscreened patients. Potential biases associated with screening were examined by Monte Carlo simulations and sensitivity analyses. Focused effort in cancer screening and increased public awareness of pollution-related lung cancer in XF might have led to early diagnosis and improved OS, and increased investment in health care resources in high risk areas may have produced additional unobserved factors that underlay the association of XF residential status with improved OS in patients diagnosed not by screening.
