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 malignant tumors (MPMTs) refer to two or more independent malignancies occurring at different anatomical sites. The present study reports the first documented case of metachronous primary lung adenocarcinoma and renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC). A 69-year-old man underwent a radical lobectomy for stage IIB (pT2aN1M0) lung adenocarcinoma followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. A routine 10-month postoperative follow-up computed tomography scan revealed an ill-defined left renal mass. Subsequently, a partial nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed MTSCC. No recurrence was observed after 3 years of surveillance. The present study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to report the association between lung adenocarcinoma and MTSCC, which highlights the necessity to consider a new primary malignancy in cancer survivors with new lesions. The present case highlights the critical role of integrated histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation in distinguishing rare primary cancers, such as MTSCC, from metastasis, thus guiding appropriate therapy.
