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

Aim: Multiple primary lung cancers are becoming increasingly recognised and pose diagnostic and staging uncertainties with challenging management options and prognostication. Case report: We describe a case of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer occurring bilaterally, and the steps in reaching the diagnosis, initial surgical management, the intensive follow-up this underwent, and how its subsequent recurrence led to treatment with radiation therapy in light of the patient's declining fitness. Discussion: This case highlighted that cytological recurrence could occur prior to radiological recurrence, especially for endobronchial tumors, and intensive follow-up both radiologically and endoscopically with multidisciplinary input is crucial in the management of these challenging cases where evidence-based guidelines are limited.
