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
backgroundOligometastatic disease (OMD) is defined by a limited number of metastases, affecting treatment strategies and prognosis. This study evaluates the perspectives of pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons on the curability, treatment approaches, and disease trajectory of synchronous OMD, oligorecurrence, and oligoprogression.
methodsA survey was conducted among pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, and trainees at Yedikule Chest Disease and Thoracic Surgery Research and Training Hospital. Participants provided views on OMD's curability, treatment preferences, and confidence in discussing prognosis using Likert scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative methods.
resultsOf 160 contacted participants, 60 (37.5%) completed the survey. Most respondents (86.6%) regarded synchronous OMD as curable, with 65% for oligorecurrence and only 23.4% for oligoprogression. Confidence in understanding synchronous OMD's trajectory significantly differed, with attending physicians at 67.9% versus trainees at 43.8% (
conclusionThe study reveals diverse perspectives on OMD, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and ongoing education to improve understanding and management of the disease.
