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

Background: Lung cancer remains a global health challenge, with an incidence of 23% and an overall 5-year survival of only 19%, as nearly half newly diagnosed cases are at the advanced stages. Among Asian patients, over 50% of lung cancer cases carry epidermal growth factor receptor ( Case Description: We report a case in which hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) was administered in a 50-year-old male patient with malignant pleural effusion and resistance to third-generation TKIs. HITHOC significantly reduced the tumor burden of the patient and helped restore sensitivity to third-generation TKIs. Conclusions: We believe that HITHOC can efficiently improve the drug concentration within the pleural cavity, thereby reducing the tumor burden and eliminating potential TKI-resistant tumor subclones in the patient. This mode of therapy may prove valuable in overcoming TKI resistance.
