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

backgroundImage characteristics of tumor, including tumor size and component are crucial for patients' survival. Patients who presented with ground glass opacity (GGO) was found less risk of intrapulmonary lymph node metastases and good survival. However, it is difficult to get tissue prove for small GGO lesion preoperatively because of its tiny size and the accuracy of intraoperation frozen section. Some patients received another operation for anatomic resection after malignancy has been confirmed and others refused reoperation and only received wedge resection. The aim of this study was tried to compare the treatment result between anatomic and wedge resection for non small cell lung cancer patients who present as small ground glass opacity (GGO) predominant lesion in pre-operation CT.

methodsFrom January 2010 to May 2014, 500 non small cell lung cancer patients who underwent tumor resection were included. Patients who presented with small GGO predominant lesion in pre-operation CT were included and medical records were reviewed retrospectively. The survival status between anatomic and wedge resection was analyzed.

results37 patients received anatomic resection (Group A) and 9 patients received wedge resection (Group B). Group B showed less staple usage (p = 0.01) and blood loss (p = 0.02). From view of pathology result, only less intrapulmonary lymph nodes was dissected was identified in group B. From view of survival, similar disease free and overall survival without statistical differences in both groups.

conclusionWedge resection may provide equivalent treatment result for patients who presented as peripheral GGO or GGO predominant lesions that less than 2 cm in size.
