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

With the increased popularity of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), many patients present with pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs), and the appropriate diagnostic and management strategy of those lesions make physicians be on the horn of the clinical dilemma. As there is not enough data available to set universally acceptable guidelines, the management of GGNs may be different. If GGN is an incidental finding through LDCT, the lesion should be followed according to the current guidelines. We recommend a multidisciplinary team discussion to be initiated if a new solid component develops or the solid portion size grows on follow-up CT as the risk of malignancy is high. Attempts to preoperatively biopsy solid components in part-solid GGNs are often not feasible and not helpful in clinical settings. Currently, if malignancy is suspected, a surgical biopsy with the guidance of various localization methods is recommended. If malignancy is confirmed, sub-lobar resection may provide an excellent oncologic outcome.
