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

backgroundAccording to the proportion of glandular and squamous pathological components, adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) could be divided into adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) predominant subtypes. Due to its rarity, no study investigating the impact of different subtypes on the clinical features, radiologic findings and prognosis characteristics of ASC has been reported.

methodsSixty eight patients who underwent surgical resection for lung adenosquamous carcinoma in our institute between January 2006 and March 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Data regarding the clinical features, radiologic findings and prognosis characteristics were collected.

resultsThirty nine patients of the study cohort were with AC-predominant ASC and 29 with SCC-predominant ASC. There was no significant difference between the two subgroups in age, gender, smoking history, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level and T,N classification. Air bronchogram was found more frequently in AC-predominant ASC than in SCC-predominant ASC (P = 0.046). Multivariate analysis identified pathological subtype (P = 0.022) and CT findings of peripheral location (P = 0.009) to be independent prognostic factors.

conclusionsAC-predominant ASC were more commonly presented with air bronchogram, and were with a better prognosis than SCC-predominant ASC.
