Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 nodules are often detected during the clinical course of several diseases or through routine screening. Various guidelines have proposed management algorithms for suspicious solitary nodules in lung cancer. Generally, solitary pulmonary nodules are managed according to nodule appearance and risk of lung cancer using low-dose, thin section computed tomography (CT). Liquid biopsy is promising for diagnosis, therapeutic-monitoring and follow-up in lung cancer; however, diagnosis and management pathways based on genetic examination alone have not been established. Management of solitary pulmonary nodules should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team and tissue biopsy is necessary for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Genetic analysis via liquid biopsy is warranted in addition to more established techniques in pulmonary nodule management.
