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

rationaleWe report here a case of using iodine-125 (125I) seed implantation via endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in the treatment of malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient still experienced MCAO after conventional bronchoscopic interventional therapy. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma stage IV (T4N2M1a).

interventionsShe received implantation of radioactive 125I seeds in the lesion inside the right middle lobe bronchus and 12R lymph node via bronchoscopy and EBUS, in combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. OUTCOMES: The patient's MCAO has been effectively controlled. LESSONS: The success of this case suggests that EBUS-guided 125I seed implantation to lymph nodes is a safe and effective therapeutic option for MCAO.
