Low-Dose Computed Tomography Lung Cancer Screening for Individuals Who Have Never Smoked: A Review of Recent Updates in Taiwan and the United States.
Review in Journal of chest surgery, 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
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening is widely recognized as an effective tool for the early detection of lung cancer. However, its efficacy among individuals without a history of smoking continues to attract interest. Currently, nearly all lung cancer screening guidelines provide recommendations exclusively for individuals who currently smoke or have a history of smoking. Emerging research indicates that LDCT screening may also benefit individuals who have never smoked but are genetically predisposed to lung cancer or have been exposed to certain environmental risk factors. This underscores the need to consider expanding LDCT screening eligibility criteria to include carefully selected never-smokers at high risk, potentially preventing lung cancer-related deaths.
