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

Sleeve and double-sleeve lobectomies are lung-sparing techniques for treating central lung cancers. However, if the tumour extends to involve the bronchi and vessels, lung auto-transplantation may be an alternative to pneumonectomy. Neoadjuvant therapy after surgery is the most common strategy for patients with extensive central lung cancer. Herein, we report a case of central lung cancer in a patient who underwent immunochemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy following lung auto-transplantation. A 68-year-old man with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer and left upper lobe squamous cell carcinoma underwent neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. Following partial regression, a multidisciplinary team decided on a back-table procedure with auto-lung transplantation after pneumonectomy to preserve pulmonary function. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged after three weeks with no residual tumour or lymph node metastases. Lung auto-transplantation can be successfully performed in non-lung transplantation centres, potentially broadening treatment options for patients with central lung cancer.
