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 74-year-old male was diagnosed with right hilar T4N1M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Radical oncological treatment was initiated with curative intent. Despite this, a post-operative computed tomography scan showed residual disease. Therefore, right thoracotomy and salvage pneumonectomy were performed. The patient recovered well post-operatively. Unfortunately, seven months later, he re-presented with a left scapula subcutaneous mass, with a biopsy confirming metastatic lung squamous cell carcinoma. Radiotherapy was not possible as it would have irradiated the remaining lung, and therefore, surgical resection and chest wall reconstruction were undertaken. The patient remains free of disease at 6 months follow-up. We present an interesting case of surgical management of oligometastatic lung cancer.
