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

Multiple primary lung cancer is a very rare type of tumour that occurs when two or more primary malignant tumours develop simultaneously or sequentially in the same patient's lungs. When two or more primary sites are present at the same time, it is called synchronous multiple primary lung cancer. Currently, the pathogenesis, clinical features, and prognostic factors of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer are unclear, and there are no guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. We present a 74-year-old male patient with a combination of three histological types of synchronous primary lung cancer. He underwent partial lobectomy and was diagnosed with synchronous multiple primary lung cancer. The pathological diagnosis revealed adenosquamous carcinoma in the right lower lobe and small-cell lung cancer in the left lower lobe. After comprehensive treatment, the patient is currently stable and is under follow-up. Refining the diagnosis and treatment of multiple primary lung cancers remains challenging. Our case and case studies in the literature may provide some ideas for more standardized diagnosis and treatment.
