Colloid Adenocarcinoma of the Lung: A Rare and Unique Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Primary pulmonary colloid adenocarcinoma (PPCA) is a rare variant of lung adenocarcinoma characterized by abundant extracellular mucin production, often posing diagnostic challenges due to its slow growth and nonspecific imaging findings. We present the case of a 77-year-old male with a medical history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and congestive heart failure (CHF), who exhibited a gradually enlarging right lower lobe lung mass over eight years. Initial imaging and biopsy results were inconclusive, but a subsequent biopsy following surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of PPCA. This case highlights the clinical challenges, pathological features, and diagnostic complexities for elderly patients with this rare type of lung carcinoma. It emphasizes the crucial role of surgical resection in its management.
