Lymphoepithelial Carcinoma of the Lung Initially Misdiagnosed as an Intrapulmonary Lymph Node in a Frozen Section: A Case Report.

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
We report a case of lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the lung (LCL) in a 67-year-old male, which presented as a solitary lesion in the left upper lung, measuring 0.7 cm in diameter. LCL is a rare tumor characterized by a dense lymphocytic infiltrate, often complicating its diagnosis. The patient was initially misdiagnosed as having an intrapulmonary lymph node on the frozen section. However, further immunohistochemical (IHC) staining enabled the pathologist to correctly diagnose LCL. The patient underwent wedge resection and was diagnosed with early-stage I disease (T1N0Mx). There has been no recurrence of the disease one year postoperatively. Clinical, histopathologic, and IHC findings are described to underscore the need for heightened awareness to prevent the misdiagnosis of this condition.
