Complete Response of Locally Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma Following Basil Combined With Cisplatin Plus Pemetrexed Chemotherapy: A Case Report.
Article in Integrative cancer therapies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) represents the established therapeutic modality for managing locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). However, its impact on improving the poor prognosis of LA-NSCLC patients is limited, and it can cause severe side effects. A 62-year-old Chinese female was diagnosed with unresectable stage IIIA lung adenocarcinoma. She refused CCRT. Enhanced computed tomography of the chest revealed a space-occupying lesion in her left pulmonary hilum, invading and encircling the pulmonary artery trunk. Due to the reported anti-tumor effects of basil, a stasis-removing Chinese herb, the patient received basil combined with cisplatin plus pemetrexed (CP) chemotherapy as first-line treatment. After 6 cycles of treatment, her condition achieved complete remission, and circulating tumor cells were reduced to zero. Regular follow-ups showed that the patient maintained progression-free survival for nearly 3 years. This case highlights the potential efficacy of basil combined with CP chemotherapy in treating LA-NSCLC. However, the curative effect of this regimen needs further validation through larger clinical trials.
