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

backgroundSurgical resection remains a cornerstone of curative treatment in lung cancer, but delayed complications are under-recognised. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 67-year-old East Asian man who developed an unusual sequence of symptoms months after right middle and lower lobectomy: a posture-dependent triad of palpitations, throat tightness, and nasal congestion; paradoxical weight loss despite hyperphagia; and later neuropsychiatric disturbance associated with chronic respiratory insufficiency. Investigations excluded tumour recurrence and metabolic disorders.

conclusionsThese observations emphasise the spectrum of long-term sequelae following major pulmonary resection and the importance of vigilant multidisciplinary follow-up.
