Clinical T categorization in stage IA lung adenocarcinomas: prognostic implications of CT display window settings for solid portion measurement.
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesOur study aimed at evaluating the prognostic implications of lung and mediastinal CT display window settings for solid portion measurements on the eighth-edition lung cancer staging system's clinical T (cT) categorization.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 691 surgically treated patients from 2009 to 2015 for clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinomas. Solid portions were measured at the lung and mediastinal window settings, respectively, and cT categories were determined for each measurement (cT
resultsBoth cT
conclusionsThe prognostic performances of the cT categorizations at the lung and mediastinal windows were not significantly different. The current cT categorization based on the lung window measurement is appropriate as it stands. KEY POINTS: • Discriminatory power of the eighth-edition clinical T category was not significantly affected by the CT display window settings. • Given the facts that the lung window setting enables more sensitive detection of the solid portions and higher correlation with the pathological invasive components, our findings may support adherence to the usage of the lung window setting for the solid portion measurement per the current recommendations.
