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

Background: According to the latest the World Health Organization (WHO) classification in 2015, invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) is defined as a new pathological subtype of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, whether this rare subtype of lung pathology has any difference in prognosis than conventional LUAD is debatable. Our study attempted to compare clinical characteristics and prognosis of IMA Methods: A total of 1,857 patients with LUAD who underwent radical resection were screened from 2010 to 2015 at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Patients with pulmonary IMA were matched 1:1 by using propensity scores with LUAD adjusted for clinicopathological characteristics. After follow-up, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were explored by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Forest plots were used for subgroup analyses. Results: Following screening, 499 patients with LUAD were enrolled, with 97 IMA and 402 NMA. Compared to NMA of the lung, IMA was proportionately lower in women (50.5% Conclusions: In this study, we found that resectable IMA patients had a better OS than NMA patients. This study contributes to the understanding of IMA in depth, but it needs to be validated through additional multicenter studies.
