Therapeutic dilemmas in young children with lung cancer: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
With the widespread use of plain chest CT scans, the detection of early-stage lung cancer has risen. This manuscript reviews surgical strategies for young patients with early-stage ground-glass nodules (GGNs) indicative of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), based on a case study and literature review, aiming to provide clinical insights for management. A 15-year-old adolescent male patient who underwent a routine chest CT, which revealed a ~0.7 cm GGN in the right upper lung. A follow-up CT on April 20, 2025, showed interval growth to approximately 9 × 8 mm in the apical segment. On July 1, 2025, the patient underwent wedge resection of the right upper lung via VATS. Postoperative pathology confirmed minimally invasive LUAD. The patient recovered well and was discharged the following day. A review of literature (2020-2025) identified eight cases of lung cancer in patients ≤18 years. Two patients did not undergo operation due to advanced disease. The remaining underwent surgical resection, with two requiring adjuvant therapy. In summary, lung cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules detected on plain chest CT. The decreasing age of onset underscores the need for timely intervention to prevent delayed treatment and improve prognosis.
