Barriers to surveillance imaging adherence in early-staged lung cancer.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundFrequency of post-treatment surveillance is highly variable following curative resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We sought to characterize surveillance practices after lobectomy for early-stage NSCLC and to identify the impact of various demographic factors on patterns of surveillance.
methodsWe included patients who underwent anatomic lobectomy for pathologic stage I NSCLC from 2007-2017. Demographic characteristics, post-operative imaging studies (internal and external), and travel distance were recorded. We defined the minimal standard of surveillance imaging studies (MSSIS) as ≥7 studies in the first 5 years (computed tomography/positron emission tomography). Patient sex, ethnicity, marital status, and distance traveled were evaluated as predictors of imaging receipt. Standard descriptive statistics, univariate, and multivariate analysis (MVR) were performed.
resultsA total of 1,288 patients were included. The mean age was 65.5±10.1 years, 589 (45.7%) were male, 1,081 (83.9%) were Caucasian, and 924 (71.7%) were married. Only 464 (36%) achieved MSSIS; being married [75.6% (351/464)
conclusionsTwo-thirds of patients at our institution did not undergo recommended surveillance imaging. Tumor size, being married, and living <100 miles from the medical center were associated with an increased number of imaging studies and greater adherence to guidelines.
