Lung adenocarcinoma initially presenting as Trousseau's syndrome treated successfully with pembrolizumab: A case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 60-year-old woman was urgently admitted to our hospital because of vertigo and left hemiplegia. Laboratory examination showed thrombocytopenia, high levels of D-dimer and carcinoembryonic antigen. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple bilateral cerebral infarctions. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed an irregularly shaped tumor in the upper lobe of the left lung and mediastinal node swelling. The histopathological findings revealed adenocarcinoma negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion gene, sensitive epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. A diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma initially presenting as arterial thromboembolism was made, and she was treated with direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). Subsequently, pembrolizumab therapy was initiated because tumor cells were positive for programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-L1;60%), and resulted in reduction of the tumor with normalization of the platelet count and d-dimer. The treatment has been continued for over one year without any recurrence of the disease or thromboembolism.
