Ground glass opacity featured lung adenocarcinoma in teenagers.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
introductionGround glass opacity (GGO) nodules were found incidentally by computed tomography (CT) scan in some teenagers, which turned out to be lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to summarize the characteristics of teenage patients with GGO featured lung adenocarcinoma.
methodsPatients aging from 13 to 20 who were incidentally diagnosed with lung cancer were reviewed between February 2015 to December 2020. The clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics were analyzed.
resultsTotally 12 patients were included. All of them were diagnosed as GGO featured lung cancer through CT scan, with no presenting symptom. The median surveillance before surgery was 5.5 months, and none of these GGO lesions enlarged or altered in the property during the surveillance. The mean tumor diameter was 0.93 ± 0.25 cm. Ten patients underwent wedge resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), 9 of which were minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and 1 of which were invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) in the pathological analysis. One patient underwent VATS left-upper sublobectomy, pathologically diagnosed as MIA and 1 patient underwent VATS left-upper lobectomy with systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy, pathologically diagnosed as IAC. The median postoperative hospital stay was 3 days. All patients survived without recurrence during a median follow-up of 12.5 months.
conclusionsGGO nodules could be a sign of early-stage teenage lung adenocarcinoma. We proposed a screening strategy with long intervals based on a baseline CT scan for the teenage population, and a treatment strategy for diagnosed teenage patients.
