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

backgroundSegmentectomy has been widely used for small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The objective of this study is to determine the impact of number of harvested lymph nodes (LNs) on survival for patients undergoing segmentectomy.

methodsThe clinicopathologic data of patients undergoing segmentectomy for NSCLC from July 2011 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis.

resultsA total of 259 patients with NSCLC were eligible for analysis. Patients with harvested LN ≥6 had higher frequency of nodal metastasis in pathologic examination (9.4%

conclusionsThe number of harvest LN ≥6 was independently associated with improved RFS for NSCLC patients undergoing segmentectomy, supporting the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines of appropriate LN sampling.
