Radiotherapy Response Patterns in Thoracic NUT Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2026. 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
NUT carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy, particularly when arising in the thorax. Radiotherapy is commonly used for symptom palliation; however, radiotherapeutic response patterns in thoracic NUT carcinoma remain poorly characterised. We report a 22-year-old woman with thoracic NUT carcinoma who demonstrated markedly heterogeneous responses to palliative radiotherapy across metastatic sites. A thoracic lesion causing superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome showed sustained radiographic improvement after irradiation, whereas a pelvic bone metastasis progressed shortly after single-fraction radiotherapy despite transient symptom relief. Although differences in delivered radiation dose likely contributed to these outcomes, this case illustrates practical considerations in palliative radiotherapy for thoracic NUT carcinoma, including effective symptom control for SVC syndrome and the limited durability of single-fraction radiotherapy for bone metastases. This case highlights practical considerations in palliative radiotherapy for thoracic NUT carcinoma and provides an educational perspective for respiratory physicians involved in multidisciplinary cancer care.
