Clinical and radiological characteristics of central pulmonary adenocarcinoma: a comparison with central squamous cell carcinoma and small cell lung cancer and the impact on treatment response.

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
purposeThe proportion of central pulmonary adenocarcinoma (ADC) in central-type lung cancer has been gradually increasing due to the overall increasing incidence of pulmonary ADC. But the clinical and radiological characteristics of central ADCs remain unclear. In this study, we compared the clinical and radiological characteristics of central ADCs with those of small cell lung cancers (SCLCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SQCCs) and investigated the impact of these characteristics on patients' treatment response. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe medical records of 302 consecutive patients with central lung cancer from July 2014 to September 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 99 patients with ADC, 95 with SQCC and 108 with SCLC. Computed tomography images were interpreted by two radiologists. Treatment response was determined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1.
resultsUnivariate analyses found that younger age, female sex, no history of smoking, higher levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), contralateral hilum lymphadenopathy, contralateral lung metastasis, pleural nodules and pleural metastasis to the interlobular fissure were significantly correlated with central ADC. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that compared with central SQCC, female sex, younger age, no history of smoking, higher levels of CEA and contralateral hilum lymphadenopathy were the significantly independent indicators of central pulmonary ADC. Furthermore, compared with central SCLC, younger age, higher levels of CEA and cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra21-1), lower levels of neuron-specific enolase, pleural nodules and lack of vascular involvement were significantly associated with central ADC. In 85 central ADC patients who received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that pulmonary emphysema had a negative correlation with treatment response (odds ratio=8.04,
conclusionOur study revealed that central pulmonary ADCs exhibited more aggressive clinical and radiological characteristics. Pulmonary emphysema was an independent and negative indicator for treatment response of central ADC.
