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

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer, characterized by high invasiveness and treatment resistance. Patients with PSC often exhibit poor treatment outcomes, short median survival and a dismal prognosis, necessitating novel comprehensive treatment strategies to address this clinical challenge. A 64-year-old man with PSC was initially diagnosed with stage cT4N2M0 IIIB disease and was negative for programmed cell death-ligand 1 expression. Owing to the large tumor size and unfavorable performance status, treatment initially involved an induction regimen that combined tomotherapy-based spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) with recombinant human endostatin injection (Endostar). As the condition of the patient improved, two additional cycles of low-dose albumin-bound paclitaxel were administered as concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Following radiotherapy, the patient received two sequential cycles of systemic therapy with paclitaxel liposome and ivonescimab. This combined regimen demonstrated favorable short-term efficacy with improved performance status. However, the patient developed pneumonia caused by infection with
