Nodular ground-glass opacities on thin-section CT: size change during follow-up and pathological results.
Article in Korean journal of radiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the inter-group differences in growth and the pathological results of nodular ground-glass opacities (GGOs) according to their size and focal solid portions. MATERIALS AND
methodsNinety-six nodular GGOs in 55 individuals followed by CT for at least one month from an initial chest CT were included. Forty nodular GGOs in 30 individuals were pathologically confirmed to be: adenocarcinoma (n = 15), bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) (n = 11), atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) (n = 8), focal interstitial fibrosis (n = 5) and aspergillosis (n = 1). Lesions were categorized based on high-resolution CT findings: pure nodular GGO (PNGGO) < or = 10 mm, PNGGO > 10 mm, mixed nodular GGO (MNGGO) < or = 10 mm, and MNGGO > 10 mm. In each group, the change in size during the follow-up period, the pathological results and the rate of malignancy were evaluated.
resultsThree MNGGO lesions, and none of the PNGGO, grew during the follow-up period. Resected PNGGOs < or = 10 mm were AAH (n = 6), BAC (n = 5), and focal interstitial fibrosis (n = 1). Resected PNGGOs > 10 mm were focal interstitial fibrosis (n = 4), AAH (n = 2), BAC (n = 2), and adenocarcinoma (n = 2). Resected MNGGOs < or = 10 mm were adenocarcinoma (n = 2), and BAC (n = 1). Resected MNGGOs > 10 mm were adenocarcinoma (n = 11), BAC (n = 3), and aspergillosis (n = 1).
conclusionMixed nodular GGOs (MNGGOs) had the potential for growth; most were pathologically adenocarcinoma or BAC. By contrast, PNGGOs were stable for several months to years; most were AAH, BAC, or focal interstitial fibrosis.
