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

Estimated to comprise approximately 10% of lung cancer cases, multiple pulmonary lesions pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in thoracic oncology. Distinction between multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) and intrapulmonary metastasis (IPM) directly affects tumor staging and clinical management. In equivocal cases in which the lesions are histopathologically indistinguishable, targeted sequencing can provide key additional evidence for differential diagnosis. Herein, we describe an unusual patient who presented with seven lung lesions that consisted of primary tumors and metastatic lesions, each showing distinct clonality status based on histomolecular findings. Specifically, the 45-year-old female never-smoker underwent a surgery that removed one invasive lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma and five microinvasive adenocarcinomas. Next-generation sequencing revealed three of the lesions to carry a clonal driver mutation
