Lung Cancer as a Subsequent Malignant Neoplasm in Survivors of Childhood Cancer.

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
backgroundLung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in adults, has not been well studied as a subsequent malignant neoplasm (SMN) in childhood cancer survivors. We assessed prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes for lung SMN in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) cohort.
methodsAmong 25,654 5-year survivors diagnosed with childhood cancer (<21 years), lung cancer was self-reported and confirmed by pathology record review. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and cumulative incidences were calculated, comparing survivors to the general population, and hazard ratios (HR) were estimated using Cox regression for diagnosis and treatment exposures.
resultsForty-two survivors developed a lung SMN [SIR, 4.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.9-5.4] with a cumulative incidence of 0.16% at 30 years from diagnosis (95% CI, 0.09%-0.23%). In a treatment model, chest radiation doses of 10-30 Gy (HR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.05-11.0), >30-40 Gy (HR, 4.6; 95% CI, 1.5-14.3), and >40 Gy (HR, 9.1; 95% CI, 3.1-27.0) were associated with lung SMN, with a monotone dose trend (
conclusionsSurvivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk for lung cancer compared with the general population. Greatest risk was observed among survivors who received chest radiotherapy or with primary diagnoses of Hodgkin lymphoma or bone cancer. IMPACT: This study describes the largest number of observed lung cancers in childhood cancer survivors and elucidates need for further study in this aging and growing population.
