Improving coordination of lung cancer care at a tertiary healthcare center in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 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
objectivesTo evaluate the impact of coordination of care of lung cancer in a tertiary care center.
methodsA retrospective study was carried out on all patients diagnosed with lung cancer between 2016-2017 at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from medical records, which included demographic data, the interval between cancer suspicion and definitive therapy, multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB) data, and palliative care.
resultsA total of 60 (41 males and 19 females) cases of lung cancer were analyzed. The majority of patients had adenocarcinoma (63.3%) and stage IV (70%) lung cancer. A total of 32 (76.2%) of stage IV patients were referred to palliative care. Only 40 (66.7%) of the patients were presented in the MTB, of whom new findings were found in 15 (37.5%) patients including pathology findings in 3 (7.5%), radiology findings in 7 (17.5%), and staging data in 5 (12.5%). Multidisciplinary tumor board discussion had impacted the management in 14 (35%) of patients presented.
conclusionDiscussion of lung cancer cases in MTB had a positive influence on the coordination of patients' care.
