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

Pulmonary ground glass nodule (GGN) is a term of radiological manifestation, which may be malignant or benign. The management for pulmonary GGN remains controversial. Both Fleischner society and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) panel updated the guideline for the management of GGN in 2017. Compared with previous versions, the indication for surgery or biopsy is stricter, and the recommended follow-up interval is prolonged. In clinical practice, the size of GGN component, the size of consolidation component, dynamic change during follow-up and computed tomography (CT) value are the four factors that help surgeons to decide the timing of surgery. There are some misunderstandings for the management of GGN, such as the administration of antibiotics, the use of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), pure GGN adjacent to visceral pleura, and GGN with penetrating vessel. In conclusion, GGN is a kind of slowly growing lesion, which can be followed up safely.
