Small Cell Lung Cancer Associated With Cystic Airspace: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Cystic airspaces are recognised as a risk factor for lung cancer. Nearly all cancers arising in association with cystic airspaces are non-small cell lung cancers, whereas cases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in this setting are rarely reported. A 72-year-old woman with a history of smoking was referred to our hospital for evaluation of an abnormal chest shadow. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic airspace in the left upper lobe, along with a nodular lesion adherent to the cyst wall with polypoid extension into the lumen. Marked uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose was observed in the nodular lesion on positron emission tomography-CT. Consequently, primary lung cancer was suspected, and surgical resection was performed. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen led to a diagnosis of SCLC. Although rare, SCLC could arise from cystic airspaces. Nodules abutting cystic airspaces, as well as cyst wall thickening, warrant close short-term follow-up.
