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

purposeTo analyze the incidence and CT patterns of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in adenocarcinomas on the basis of their CT presentation as solid or subsolid nodules. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 286 adenocarcinomas in direct contact with a pleural surface, resected at an institution between 2005 and 2016, were included in this retrospective, institutional review board-approved study. CT size and longest contact length with a pleural surface were measured and their ratios computed. Pleural deviation, pleural thickening, spiculations, different pleural tag types, pleural effusion, and the CT appearance of transgression into an adjacent lobe or infiltration of surrounding tissue were evaluated. Fisher exact tests and simple and multiple logistic regression models were used.

resultsOf the 286 nodules, 179 of 286 (62.6%) were solid and 107 of 286 (37.4%) were subsolid. VPI was present in 49 of 286 (17.1%) nodules and was significantly more frequent in solid (44 of 179; 24.6%) than in subsolid nodules (five of 107; 4.7%;

conclusionDuring preoperative evaluation of adenocarcinomas for the likelihood of VPI, whether a tumor manifests as a solid or a subsolid nodule is important to consider because the incidence of VPI is significantly higher in solid than in subsolid nodules. In addition, this study showed that the CT patterns associated with VPI differ between solid and subsolid nodules.© RSNA, 2019
