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

A 44-year-old man presented at our hospital to be evaluated for persistent fever and dyspnea. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed diffuse ground glass shadows and a left hilar tumor shadow. Upon further examination, he was found to have leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase and ferritin levels. He was diagnosed with both squamous cell lung carcinoma by a transbronchial lung biopsy and hemophagocytic syndrome by a bone marrow biopsy. After receiving treatment with dexamethasone and etoposide, the blood test abnormalities and performance status improved. Chemotherapy for lung cancer was initiated. He had a partial response after first-line chemotherapy and thereafter underwent left upper sleeve lobectomy.
