Clinical impact and utility of positron emission tomography on occult lymph node metastasis and survival: radical surgery for stage I lung cancer.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThe surgical result of early-staged lung cancer is not satisfactory due to unexpected postoperative lymph node metastasis and recurrence. This study aimed to investigate which preoperative factors-including the standard uptake value max (SUV
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 598 patients with clinical stage I lung cancer who underwent surgery, and examined their preoperative clinical characteristics.
resultsA total of 1586 patients had surgery for primary lung cancer between 2006 and 2019; 598 patients with clinical stage I lung cancer were the study inclusion; occult lymph node metastasis was detected in 102 (17.1%). Univariable and multivariable analyses showed that SUV
conclusionsWe might consider wedge resection or segmentectomy, omitting lymphadenectomy, for the low-risk group; adjuvant therapy is indicated for patients without lymph node metastasis having SUV
