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

An 80-year-old never-smoking woman, who underwent radiotherapy in combination with simultaneous intra-arterial chemotherapy for external auditory canal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 10 years ago, was referred to our department due to a painful huge chest wall tumor. We conducted surgical resection combined with the right upper lobe and chest wall including the 3rd to 5th ribs and affected serratus anterior muscle. Histologically, atypical keratotic cells with the same morphology as external auditory canal SCC proliferated without the figure of carcinoma in situ or squamous dysplasia of the bronchial epithelium of the lung parenchyma adjacent to the tumor.
