Oxidative Damage and Telomere Length as Markers of Lung Cancer Development among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Smokers.
Article in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Lung cancer (LC) constitutes an important cause of death among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Both diseases may share pathobiological mechanisms related to oxidative damage and cellular senescence. In this study, the potential value of leucocyte telomere length, a hallmark of aging, and 8-OHdG concentrations, indicative of oxidative DNA damage, as risk biomarkers of LC was evaluated in COPD patients three years prior to LC diagnosis. Relative telomere length measured using qPCR and serum levels of 8-OHdG were determined at the baseline in 99 COPD smokers (33 with LC and 66 age-matched COPD without LC as controls). Of these, 21 COPD with LC and 42 controls had the biomarkers measured 3 years before. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in TERT, RTEL, and NAF1 genes were also determined. COPD cases were evaluated, which showed greater telomere length (
