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

Lung cancer still remains one of the most common cancers throughout the world, especially in smokers. Adenocarcinoma is now the predominant histological type in many western countries. The etiology of adenocarcinoma is unknown, but evidence suggests that atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) may act as a precursor lesion. Here we present two case reports of patients diagnosed with AAH on biopsy, highlighting 1) available treatment strategies and 2) AAH's progression to adenocarcinoma. A review of AAH is warranted as little literature is currently available regarding its treatment strategies, especially in light of its role as a precursor to adenocarcinoma. In this review, we will address the following topics: 1. What is the pathophysiology of AAH? 2. What is the natural history of AAH and its risk of malignant transformation? 3. When is surgery recommended? 4. What is the role of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the rare patient who refuses surgery?
