Lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces: CT and pathological features.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundLung cancer associated with cystic airspaces (LC-CAS) is a special type of lung cancer that is often misdiagnosed due to its similar imaging appearances to pulmonary bulla or pulmonary cyst. This study was designed to explore the imaging and pathological features of LC-CAS.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 35 LC-CAS patients treated in our center from January 2017 to January 2020. There were 23 men and 12 women aged 61.4±9.2 years, with a range of 44-78 years. All patients underwent chest computed tomography (CT), and the diagnoses were surgically and pathologically confirmed.
resultsThe lesions were 0.5-3.0 cm (mean: 1.6±0.7 cm) in diameter. The CT signs of these lesions included lobulation sign (n=25), spicule sign (n=21), pleural indentation sign (n=22), vessel convergence sign (n=17), nodules on cystic wall (n=16), bronchial cut-off sign (n=15), uneven thickening of the cystic wall (n=10), and honeycombing (n=7). Postoperative pathological types included 30 cases of adenocarcinoma [which included 22 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) and 8 cases of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA)], 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, and 1 case of adenosquamous carcinoma.
conclusionsLC-CAS has diverse CT signs. The most common pathological type of LC-CAS is adenocarcinoma.
