Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome with Renal Cancer Treated as Multiple Metastases of Cancer of Unknown Primary.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 presented with multiple lung and bone metastases with unknown primary cancer. Chest CT images showed multiple pulmonary cysts, predominantly of the middle and lower lobes. She also had a history of pneumothorax. Four years after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, multiple hypervascular tumors eventually developed in the bilateral kidneys, suggesting the possibility of Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome. Genetic testing revealed a folliculin mutation, which confirmed the diagnosis of BHD syndrome. When we encounter cancer of unknown primary with multiple pulmonary cysts in a patient with a history of pneumothorax, thorough imaging of the kidneys and genetic testing for BHD syndrome is necessary.
