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

We report a rare case of the independent coexistence of lung cancer and organizing pneumonia (OP) in different lobes of the right lung in a 67-year-old man with a history of left upper lobectomy. Computed tomography revealed a lesion consistent with OP in the right upper lobe and a suspicious shadow in the right lower lobe, which was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma via bronchoscopic biopsy. The patient underwent right lower lobectomy and partial resection of the right upper lobe under left one-lung ventilation. Empirical corticosteroids were administered preoperatively, followed by a brief postoperative course for 3 days after pathological confirmation of OP to reduce complications such as bronchial fistula, then transitioned to macrolide therapy for 3 months. Fourteen months postoperatively, OP had not recurred, although bone metastases developed and responded well to chemoradiotherapy. This case highlights the need for individualized perioperative management in patients with complex pulmonary pathology.
