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

A 67-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of chest X-ray abnormalities. Chest computed tomography revealed a lobulated lung mass in the right lower lobe and multiple scattered nodules in both breasts. The lung mass was diagnosed as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement-positive pulmonary adenocarcinoma through a transbronchial biopsy. Histological findings of bilateral needle biopsy of breast nodules were nearly identical to that of lung nodule, and fluorescence in situ hybridization showed ALK rearrangement. These results confirmed the diagnosis of ALK rearrangement-positive pulmonary adenocarcinoma with bilateral scattered breast metastases and its metastatic form of lung adenocarcinoma, which is rare.
