The Effect of Examined Lymph Nodes and Lymph Node Ratio on Pathological Nodal Classification in the Lung Adenosquamous Carcinoma After Lobectomy.

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
Objective: The effects of examined lymph nodes (LNs) and lymph node ratio (LNR) on pN classification and the prognosis are unclear in lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) patients. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the significance of LNs and LNR in the prognosis of ASC and the impact of the abovementioned factors on the pN classification. Methods: Patients diagnosed with pathological stage T1-4N0-2M0 ASC from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database were included in the study. The primary clinical endpoint was cancer-specific survival (CSS). The optimal cutoff values of the LNs and LNR were determined. An LN indicator, including pN0 #LNs ≤9, pN0 #LNs >9, pN Results: The cohort of 1,416 patients were included in the study. The level of LNs stratified the patients without metastasis of lymph nodes (pN0 #LNs ≤9 vs. pN0 #LNs >9, unadjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.255, Conclusions: We explored clinicopathological factors affecting prognosis in resected lung ASC patients. Besides, the LN indicator was confirmed to be played an essential role in affecting the survival rate in ASC patients. The high-level LNs or low-level LNR might be corelated to improved survival outcomes.
