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

Lymphoepithelial or lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is a poorly differentiated carcinoma located outside the nasopharynx with similar morphologic characteristics to its nasopharyngeal counterpart. Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the lung is a rare subtype of squamous cell lung carcinoma frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, accounting for approximately 1% of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). We herewith present a case of a 78-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the lung, emphasizing its distinct epidemiological features, clinical workup, and histopathological characteristics. Furthermore, we discuss its histologic differential diagnosis. Finally, we refer to this tumor's unique molecular and immunological profile and its treatment modalities, and we review the literature.
