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

The aim of the present case report was to investigate the clinical manifestations, imaging features and changes of tumor markers of organizing pneumonia (OP) complicated by squamous lung carcinoma with cystic air space (LC-CAS). A patient with OP resection and leftover adjacent LC-CAS complicated by pneumothorax was evaluated. Relevant reports of OP cases complicated by LC-CAS before February 2022 were searched in the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, China Biomedical Literature Service System, Wanfang Data, China Journal Network full-text database and China HowNet databases using 'lung cancer' OR 'lung cancer with cystic air space' AND 'organizing pneumonia' as retrieval terms. After screening relevant reports, no Chinese articles and only one English article (case report) were obtained. The patient in the literature showed signs of dry cough, tachypnea and fever during the early stage of the disease. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed an irregular consolidation around the lower lobe of the right lung accompanied by a sign of bronchial inflation (usually indicated by a clear bronchial shadow seen in the diseased lung tissue area). A positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) scan and examination for tumor markers were not performed. OP secondary to LC-CAS was confirmed by bronchoscopy, and the patient was in a generally good condition 6 months after right lobotomy. The patient in the present case had no obvious discomfort during the early stage of the disease. Chest high-resolution CT showed that the LC-CAS had an irregular shape, uneven wall thickness and feeding vessels during the early stage, and cystic cavity consolidation during the later stage of the disease. PET-CT revealed that the OP exhibited increased
