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

Paraneoplastic syndromes are immune disorders associated with clinical signs and symptoms caused by substances produced by malignant diseases and are not directly associated with a primary or metastatic tumour. The symptoms are the effects of hormones, immune cross-reactivity or cytokines. Paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome (PNS) is often associated with membranous nephropathy (MN) in elderly patients with solid tumours, and there is continued debate regarding whether corticosteroids or immunosuppressants should be combined with cancer therapy for the syndrome. The present report describes a male patient with lung cancer associated with secondary MN who achieved remission under radiotherapy, with no use of corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. This case is rare. Therefore, when treating PNS related to lung cancer, more attention should be paid to the treatment of the cancer.
