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

Although calcified lung cancers are occasionally observed, they are quite rare. We report a case of extensively calcified lung adenocarcinoma with ROS1 fusions. A 57-year-old Japanese woman was initially diagnosed with adenocarcinoma based on aspiration cytology of an enlarged left supraclavicular fossa lymph node at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at our institution. Subsequent chest imaging suggested primary lung cancer, leading to a referral to the Department of Respiratory Medicine. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a nodular shadow in the right S5 lobe and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with extensive calcification. A bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsy of the right S5 nodule confirmed the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. The biopsy specimen was analyzed using the AmoyDx® Pan Lung Cancer PCR Panel, which detected ROS1 fusions.
