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

objectivesA grading system for pulmonary adenocarcinoma has not been established; hence, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) pathology panel developed a new grading system for invasive adenocarcinoma. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the IASLC grading system for invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 471 Japanese patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma. Tumors were classified in accordance with the IASLC grading system and 2015 World Health Organization classification. We analyzed recurrence-free probability (RFP) and overall survival (OS) using the log-rank test and compared the two grading systems using the Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsGrade 3 tumors of the IASLC system and high-grade tumors of the 2015 World Health Organization classification were present in 38% and 17% of patients, respectively. The 5-year RFP was lower in patients with IASLC Grade 3 tumors (45%) than in patients with IASLC Grade 1 and 2 tumors (91% and 83%, respectively). The 5-year RFP of patients with IASLC Grade 2 tumors (83%) was higher than of those with 2015 World Health Organization intermediate tumors (69%). On multivariate analysis for recurrence, IASLC Grade 3 was an independent prognostic factor of worse RFP. We showed similar results on analysis for the OS.

conclusionsThe prognostic significance of IASLC Grade 3 tumors on recurrence-free probability was confirmed through both univariate and multivariate analyses. Thus, the IASLC Grade 3 tumor is an independent factor of poor prognosis in patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma.
