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

Lung metastasis is an uncommon cause of multiple cavitary lung lesions. Herein, we report a case of multiple cavitary lung lesions of colorectal cancer that responded to chemotherapy. An 81-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed multiple cavitary lung lesions. The patient was diagnosed with lung metastases from colorectal cancer with a lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and bronchoscopy. Following chemotherapy, the cavitary lung lesions shrank. Lung metastases from colorectal cancer may appear as multiple cavitary lung lesions, which may be misdiagnosed as infections. Clinicians should consider lung metastases when multiple cavitary lung lesions are detected.
