Near complete resolution of COVID-19 pneumonia lesions in a patient of carcinoma lung treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy.
Article in BJR case reports, 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 49-year-old male presented with non-small cell lung cancer in right upper lobe lung with solitary brain metastasis. He developed COVID-19 infection and received domiciliary treatment for 3 weeks. Three weeks after testing negative for RT-PCR test, he received stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to brain metastasis. He then presented in emergency with pain in the epigastrium and was detected with amoebic liver abscess. Subsequently, he developed recurrent hemoptysis for which he was planned for palliative radiation to right lung mass. Planning CT scan showed COVID-19 pneumonia lesions involving bilateral lungs in addition to right upper lobe tumour. Palliative radiation 8 Gy/1 fraction was delivered to lung tumour with VMAT technique. He showed near total resolution of COVID-19 lesions with low-dose scatter radiation and relief of haemoptysis.
