Development of small cell lung cancer following gunshot wound to the chest.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy that often presents with advanced disease and is highly associated with tobacco use. While some studies demonstrate a potential relationship between sites of trauma and cancer development, the development of SCLC in relation to traumatic injury has not been well studied. The authors report the case of a man in his 70s who presented with biopsy-proven limited stage SCLC in the left upper lobe of the lung 45 years following a gunshot wound to the chest. The patient underwent surgical resection and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiation therapy. Three years after biopsy, surveillance imaging demonstrated no sign of recurrence. He remains clinically well. This case suggests a possible relationship between small cell carcinoma and trauma associated with foreign bodies, such as metallic bullets.
