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
backgroundLung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Implementation of certification programs aimed to reduce cancer-specific mortality. OBJEKTIVE: It is of interest to understand which factors provoke patients to choose a facility according to its certification status.
methodsThe real-world dataset of the Cancer Registry of Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany was used to compare characteristics of patients treated in a DKG-certified center versus treatment in a non-certified facility. Patients diagnosed between 2016 and 2020 (n=8,687) were included.
resultss This Study showed that almost 24% of lung cancer patients were treated in a DKG-certified center. Region of residence and T status seemed to impact decision for treatment in a DKG-certified center.
conclusionThe certification process is complex, therefore, it is of certain interest to understand which factors provoke treatment in a certain medical facility.
