Effect of CT-guided microwave ablation for non-small cell lung cancer combined with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the perioperative complications and safety of microwave ablation (MA) therapy for patient's non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) combined with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
methodsA total of 28 patients with NSCLC combined with severe COPD in our center were analyzed for complications during MA therapy and post-treatment outcomes.
resultsAll patients were successfully ablated by puncture, with a tumor efficiency of 85.7% and no death within 30 days. The tumor tissues showed hypodense changes, cavitation, and decreased CT values when the CT was reexamined 24 hours after surgery. A total of 24 patients showed different surgery-related complications, and were cured after targeted treatments. During the follow-up, the lung tumor disappeared, while the fibrous scars and foci as well as pulmonary cavity still remained. CT imaging examination showed there was no enhancement in the tissue after resection.
conclusionIn this study, we confirmed that the complications of NSCLC combined with severe COPD after MA were manageable, safe and effective.
