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

objectivesWe aimed to retrospectively investigate CT findings of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and to determine the appropriate method for measurement of solid portions in MIAs at CT.

methodsFrom May 2012 to April 2014, 55 pulmonary nodules in 52 patients were pathologically confirmed as MIAs and were included in this study. CT findings of MIAs and measurements of solid portions at CT were evaluated by two independent radiologists.

resultsMean size of MIAs was 10.5 mm ± 4.8 (range, 4-28 mm). Fifty-two MIAs manifested as 28 pure ground glass nodules (GGNs) (53.8 % %), 22 part-solid GGNs (42.3 % %), and 2 two solid nodules (3.8 % %) at CT. Lobulated border, bubble lucency, and pleural retraction were frequently found in both observers (26.9-42.3 % %). Differences according to window settings between solid portion size and invasive component size were not significantly different in both observers (p > 0.05). As for interobserver agreement, 95 % CIs for solid portion size in the mediastinal window setting (-2.2 to 3.4; mean, 0.6) were slightly narrower than those in the lung window setting (-2.6 to 3.1; mean, 0.3).

conclusionsNearly all MIAs appear as pure and part-solid GGNs. Mediastinal and lung window settings can be applied for measurement of solid portions at CT without a significant difference. KEY POINTS: • Nearly all MIAs appear as pure and part-solid GGNs. • MIAs show frequent interval growth at follow-up. • MIAs with solid portion ≥5 mm ranged from 7.7 % to 19.2 %. • Mediastinal and lung window settings can be applied for solid portion measurement.
