Review in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07543601 (Enhanced COPD Management in Suspected Lung Cancer Patients - Improving Outcomes Through Timely Intervention), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Many studies have proved that the pathogenesis of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer is related, and may cause and affect each other to a certain extent. In fact, the change of chronic airway obstruction will continue to have an impact on the screening, treatment, and prognosis of lung cancer.In this comprehensive review, we outlined the links and heterogeneity between COPD and lung cancer and finds that factors such as gene expression and genetic susceptibility, epigenetics, smoking, epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT), chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress injury may all play a role in the process. Although the relationship between these two diseases have been largely determined, the methods to prevent lung cancer in COPD patients are still limited. Early diagnosis is still the key to a better prognosis. Thus, it is necessary to establish more intuitive screening evaluation criteria and find suitable biomarkers for lung cancer screening in high-risk populations with COPD. Some studies have indicated that COPD may change the efficacy of anti-tumor therapy by affecting the response of lung cancer patients to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). And for lung cancer patients with COPD, the standardized management of COPD can improve the prognosis. The treatment of lung cancer patients with COPD is an individualized, comprehensive, and precise process. The development of new targets and new strategies of molecular targeted therapy may be the breakthrough for disease treatment in the future.
