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

objectiveTo investigate the PET/CT findings in lung invasive adenocarcinoma with minor components of micropapillary or solid contents and its association with lymph node metastasis. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 506 lung invasive adenocarcinoma (≤ 3 cm) patients who underwent a PET/CT examination and resection surgery were included. According to the proportion of solid/micropapillary components, the patients were classified into three groups: solid/micropapillary-negative (SMPN) (n = 258), solid/micropapillary-minor (SMPM; > 5% not predominant) (n = 158) and solid/micropapillary-predominant (SMPP; > 5% most dominant) (n = 90). The patients' PET/CT findings, including SUVmax, MTV, TLG and CT characteristics, and other clinical factors were compared by one-way ANOVA test. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify the most predictive findings for lymph node metastasis.

resultsThe value of SUVmax, MTV, TLG and tumor size was highest in SMPP group, followed by SMPM and SMPN group (P < 0.001).The areas under the curve for SUVmax, MTV and TLG for node metastasis were 0.822, 0.843 and 0.835, respectively. Univariate analysis found that the SMPP and SMPM group had more lymph node metastasis than the SMPN group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the lymph node metastasis group had higher CEA, SUVmax, MTV, TLG, tumor size and more pleural invasion (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis found that SMPP pathological type, SMPM pathological type, higher CEA and male patients were risk factors for lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01).

conclusionsLung invasive adenocarcinoma with micropapillary or solid contents had higher SUVmax, MTV, TLG and tumor size and was associated with lymph node metastasis, even if they were not predominant.
