Long term follow-up for small pure ground-glass nodules: implications of determining an optimum follow-up period and high-resolution CT findings to predict the growth of nodules.

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
purposeTo identify the optimum follow-up period for pure ground-glass nodules (GGN) measuring less than 15 mm in diameter, and to evaluate whether the initial HRCT findings can be used as predictors for the progression of pure GGN. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 150 pure GGNs present in 111 patients were evaluated. The series of HRCT images for each GGN at the time of the initial detection, 2 years after detection, and at the final follow-up were evaluated. The HRCT findings of GGN were compared between the "increasing nodule" and "non-increasing nodule" groups.
resultsMost (87.3%) pure GGN did not increase whereas some nodules (12.7%) eventually increased after long-term follow-up (mean 66.0 ± 25.0 months). Six (31.6%) out of the 19 increasing nodules were regarded as stable at the 2 year follow-up examination. Some morphological findings on initial HRCT, including a size greater than 10 mm (p = 0.001), lobulated margins (p = 0.015), and a bubble-like appearance (p = 0.002), were significantly associated with the growth of pure GGNs.
conclusionMore than 2 years of follow-up are necessary to detect the growth of pure GGNs. Some characteristic findings indicated a high likelihood of future growth of the GGN.
