[Relationship between Clinical Characteristics and Diagnostic Modes of Hospitalized Surgical Patients with Lung Cancer].
Article in Zhongguo fei ai za zhi = Chinese journal of lung cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveDiagnostic modes may play an important role in treatments, but minimal information is available regarding their relationship in patients with lung cancer. This study may contribute to decision making in clinics and public health centers.
methodsThe records of 505 hospitalized surgical patients with lung cancer at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2013 to December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were categorized into physical examination group (PEG, 131 patients) and symptomatic group (SG, 374 patients). Surgical approach, pathological stage, and diagnostic mode were analyzed.
resultsLow-dose computed tomography (46.6%, 61/131) and computed radiography (51.1%, 67/131) were used as key diagnosis methods in 131 patients in PEG. The percentage of hospitalized surgical patients with lung cancer detected via physical examination in the city (35.4%, 80/229) was also significantly higher than in the township (18.1%, 50/276) (P<0.001). The ratio of stage I lung cancer detected via physical examination in the city (46.8%, 59/126) was significantly higher than that in the township (27.3%, 33/121) (P=0.001). The proportion of patients who underwent VATS lobectomy was significantly higher in PEG (73.3%, 96/131) than that in SG (44.4%, 166/374) (P<0.001), and the ratio of patients at stage I was significantly higher in PEG (70.2%, 92/131) than that in SG (41.4%, 155/374) (P<0.001).
conclusionsThe use of physical examination is more prevalent in cities than that in towns, and its combination with mini-invasive surgical treatment contributes to early diagnosis of patients with lung cancer.
