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

Synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (SMPLCs) are uncommon, particularly when they consist of histologically distinct tumors, such as adenocarcinoma and carcinoid. Differentiating SMPLCs from intrapulmonary metastases is critical because treatment approaches and prognostic implications vary substantially. We describe the case of an 82-year-old woman who was found to have both pulmonary adenocarcinoma and a typical carcinoid tumor in separate lobes, diagnosed during a single robotic-assisted bronchoscopy session. This case underscores the importance of considering SMPLCs in patients with multifocal pulmonary lesions, highlights the diagnostic utility of advanced bronchoscopic platforms that enable sampling of multiple sites in a single procedure, and points to emerging molecular evidence suggesting that adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumors may share a common progenitor cell origin.
