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

As one of the important liquid biopsies, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) shows more and more clinical values in the treatment of lung cancer such as diagnostic screening, treatment evaluation, postoperative monitoring, and prognosis predicting etc. A large number of small pulmonary nodules patients are detected when screening the high risk population of lung cancer. However, small lung nodules are not equal to lung cancer, and 90%-95% of them are benign lesion, therefore, to accurately and correctly differentiate whether it is benign or malignant when patients firstly detected and treat a small pulmonary nodule is become a new opportunity and challenge for clinician. With the improvement of CTCs detection technology, whether it will play an important role in early differential diagnosis of lung cancer. And whether it will have clinical significance to early lung cancer surgery operations. These require further researches and explorations so as to achieve clinical transformation in the future.
