Timing of tumor-induced atelectasis resolution and pulmonary function restoration in the course of image-guided moderate hypofractionated thoracic irradiation: a case report and mini-review of literature.
Article in BJR case reports, 2022. 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
This case report describes a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (cT4 (Infiltration of left pulmonary artery) cN2 cM0, TNM eighth edition) and subsequent tumor-induced atelectasis of the left upper lobe. Despite initially presenting himself with a poor performance status (ECOG-PS III) and diminished lung function, the patient was treated with image-guided thoracic irradiation to a total dose of 45.0 Gy (to the whole planning target volume) / 52.5 Gy (as simultaneous integrated boost to the Primary Tumor) applied in 15 daily fractions. Through the radiation treatment, the upper lobe could be reaerated, and the patient's lung function and performance were improved.
