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

purposeThe aim of the study is to construct two nomograms for predicting the invasive extent of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and nodule growth in patients with pulmonary pure ground-glass nodules (pGGN).

methodConsecutive patients with pGGNs (n = 172) were retrospectively studied at one institution, formed the development cohort in predicting IPAs' nomogram. A separate cohort of patients with pGGNs (n = 116) from another institution was used for validation. For the predicting growth nomogram, the primary cohort of patients with pGGNs (n = 80) was from the former institution. We developed the nomogram for predicting IPA using binary logistic regression model, and a Cox multivariable model for the growth nomogram. We assessed nomogram model performance by calibration and discrimination (C-index).

resultsThe variables selected in binary logistic regression model (lesion size and shape) had a significant effect on identifying IPA from preinvasive lesion. The C-index of the development and validation cohort were 0.819 (95% CI 0.753-0.874) and 0.811 (95% CI 0.728-0.878), respectively. The risk variables (lesion size, blood vessel types) were selected in the multivariable Cox model. The C-index was 0.880 in the development cohort.

conclusionOur nomograms are reliable prognostic methods that can predict the invasiveness of pulmonary adenocarcinomas and the growth of pure GGN in preoperative.
