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

introductionThe impact of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) on survival remains controversial for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study investigated the survival status of VPI among patients with lymph node-negative lung invasive adenocarcinoma smaller than 3cm.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 2537 consecutive patients with pathologic stage I lung invasive adenocarcinoma. All patients had received lobectomy and system lymph nodes resection. Patients were classified into 4 groups according to tumor size and visceral pleural invasion status. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed to evaluate survival difference between these groups.

results548 patients with VPI while 1989 patients without VPI were included in this study. For patients with tumor size ≤2cm, patients with VPI had significant worse DFS (HR,4.85; 95% CI, 2.98-7.91;

conclusionsVPI could predict a poor survival even for node-negative invasive lung adenocarcinoma patients with tumor size less than 3cm.
