1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 71-year-old man presented with cough and bloody sputum. Computed tomography showed a mass in the lower lobe of the left lung. Histological findings in biopsy tissue revealed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). The patient was diagnosed with primary lung MPNST based on a systemic examination. Although initial chemotherapy treatment with doxorubicin failed to control the disease, radiotherapy considerably shrank the tumor. Primary lung MPNSTs are rare, and there is no established treatment for inoperable cases. This case suggests that radiotherapy is a treatment option for primary lung MPNST.
