Preoperative Folate Receptor-Positive Circulating Tumor Cell Level Is a Prognostic Factor of Long Term Outcome in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSurgical resection is often the preferred treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Predictive biomarkers after surgery can help monitoring and treating patients promptly, so as to improve the clinical outcome. In this study, we evaluated one potential candidate biomarker, the folate receptor-positive circulating tumor cell (FR
