Invasive Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Cavitary Lung Disease: A Case Report and Narrative Review.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) is a rare subtype of lung adenocarcinoma that often presents with non-specific or misleading radiographic findings. We report a case of a 71-year-old female patient, non-smoker, who presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion and chronic cough unresponsive to multiple antibiotic regimens. Imaging revealed bilateral cavitary lung lesions. Comprehensive infectious and autoimmune evaluations, including bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, were negative, and transbronchial biopsy was non-diagnostic. A surgical lung biopsy ultimately confirmed IMA. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by cavitary IMA, which may resemble benign infectious or inflammatory processes, particularly in patients without conventional risk factors, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
