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

backgroundThe computed tomography (CT) characteristic of ground glass opacity (GGO) were shown to be associated with clinical significance in lung adenocarcinoma. We evaluated the prognostic value of the solid component ratio of GGO IA invasive lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the records of GGO IA patients who received surgical resection from April 2012 to December 2015. The solid component ratio was calculated based on thin-slice CT scans. Baseline features were compared stratified by the ratio. Cox proportional hazard models and survival analyses were adopted to explore potential prognostic value regarding overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

resultsFour hundred fifteen patients were included. The higher ratio was significantly associated with larger tumor diameter, pathological subtypes and choice of surgical type. There was a significantly worse DFS with a > 50% ratio. The subgroups of 0% and ≤ 50% ratio showed close survival curves of DFS. Similar trends were observed in OS. Multivariate analyses revealed that the ratio was a significant predictor for DFS, but not for OS. No significant prognostic difference was observed between lobectomy and limited resections.

conclusionA higher solid component ratio may help to predict a significantly worse prognosis of GGO IA lung adenocarcinoma.
