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 47-year-old man undergoing follow-up for previously treated squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was found to have two masses in the gallbladder and a new pulmonary nodule in the left upper lobe, different from the original tumor. Imaging findings suggested gallbladder masses atypical for primary gallbladder cancer. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition of a hepatoduodenal ligament lymph node adjacent to the gallbladder revealed small cell carcinoma, distinct from the previously diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma. A transbronchial lung cryobiopsy confirmed small cell lung carcinoma of the left upper lobe. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with metachronous small cell lung carcinoma with gallbladder metastases. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of gallbladder metastases from small cell lung carcinoma arising after prior treatment of squamous cell carcinoma in the same patient. This case highlights the importance of histopathological evaluation of new lesions, even in patients with a history of lung cancer, to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
