When chronic obstructive pulmonary disease meets small cell lung cancer: an unusual case report of rapid progression.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease and a risk factor for lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a neuroendocrine tumor with a high degree of malignancy and an overall five-year survival rate of less than 7%. CASES PRESENTATION: Herein, we report the case of an 68-year-old male presented to the respiratory department with cough, sputum, and dyspnea. He was diagnosed as community acquired pneumonia and treated with intravenous anti-infection. Previous pulmonary function was definitively diagnosed as COPD. About 7 months after discharge, the patient returned to the hospital for cough and dyspnea. After diagnosis of the tumor, cisplatin, etoposide and durvalumab were administered. Finally the patient died of respiratory failure approximately 9 months after his diagnosis.
conclusionsFor COPD patients with immunocompromised manifestations, it is necessary to be alert to complications and shorten the follow-up interval of chest CT. COPD may accelerate the formation and progression of SCLC.
