Impact of accurate diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases on postoperative outcomes in lung cancer.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe prognostic impact of interstitial lung disease (ILD) subclassification based on both high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan findings and histopathological findings is unknown.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 104 patients who were diagnosed with clinical ILD according to HRCT scan findings and who underwent lung cancer surgery. Via an expert multidisciplinary discussion, we re-classified HRCT scan findings and validated the histopathological patterns of ILDs in lung specimens.
resultsThere were several mismatches between HRCT scan findings and histological patterns. Moreover, 87 (83.7%) and 6 (5.8%) patients were diagnosed with definitive ILD and pathological non-ILD, respectively. Finally, 82 patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) were divided into the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (n = 61) group and the other group (n = 21). The 5-year overall survival rate of the IPF group was significantly lower than that of the other group (22.8% vs 67.9%; p = 0.011). Sub-classification of IIPs was found to be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in patients with lung cancer.
conclusionAn accurate diagnosis of IIPs/IPF according to both HRCT scan findings and histological patterns is important for providing an appropriate treatment among patients with lung cancer who presented with clinical ILD.
