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

Objectives: This meta-analysis aims to investigate the potential association between allergic diseases and lung cancer. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to October 8, 2024. Data analysis was performed using Stata 14.0, employing fixed or random effects models based on heterogeneity ( Results: Analysis of 10 studies revealed a negative association between allergic diseases and lung cancer risk (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.66-0.85, I Conclusion: Allergic diseases are inversely associated with lung cancer risk, with allergic rhinitis acting as a protective factor, while eczema shows no significant association. Further epidemiological studies are warranted. Systematic review registration: https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2024-11-0086/, identifier INPLASY2024110086.
