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

backgroundGermline mutations play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. Nonetheless, research on malignant ground glass opacity (GGO) nodules is limited.

methodsA total of 13 participants with malignant GGO nodules were recruited in this study. Peripheral blood was used for exome sequencing, and germline mutations were analyzed using InterVar. The whole exome sequencing dataset was analyzed using a filtering strategy. KOBAS 3.0 was used to analyze KEGG pathway to further identify possible deleterious mutations.

resultsThere were seven potentially deleterious germline mutations. NM_001184790:exon8: c.C1070T in

conclusionsOur results expand the germline mutation spectrum in malignant GGO nodules. Importantly, these findings will potentially help screen the high-risk population, guide their health management, and contribute to their clinical treatment and determination of prognosis.
