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

Fever is a common symptom of lung cancer, but most are induced by infection. This is the first report of a patient with lung adenocarcinoma who developed a fever of unknown origin for more than 1 month after repeat biopsy on the progression of first-line treatment in China. Comprehensive blood tests, the well-known pathogens were fully examined, and imaging studies failed to support infectious fever, connective tissue disease-related fever, drug fever, or other etiologies, leading to the diagnosis of tumor fever. While the fever remained refractory to Ibuprofen, it was successfully controlled 12 h after a single intravenous administration of Tocilizumab, with the patient maintaining a normal body temperature for 45 days, from August 21 to October 4, 2025. This case report primarily provides the practice for exploring the tumor fever.
