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: The histologic classification of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) was mainly divided into three pathological subtype groups: the low-grade predominant subtype group (lepidic), the intermediate-grade predominant subtype group (papillary and acinar), and the high-grade predominant subtype group (micropapillary and solid). Previous studies have focused on the prognostic impact of predominant subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. In this investigation, we investigated the effect of the second predominant subtype on prognosis. Methods: The data of LUAD postoperative patients were retrospectively collected. Exclusion criteria included cases in which the pathologic results revealed a single characteristic, the presence of invasive mucinous LUAD, or if the first predominant and the second predominant groups could not be distinguished. Categorical variables were compared with the two-tailed Pearson χ Results: Among 293 patients, the mean age was 61.9 years and 47.1% were male. The results revealed that when the predominant group was the low-grade group, the second predominant groups had no significant influence on overall survival (OS) (P=0.15) but significantly influenced disease free survival (DFS) (P=0.037). Subsequently, when the predominant group was the intermediate-grade group, the second predominant groups significantly influenced OS (P=0.024) but had no significant influence on DFS (P=0.3). Moreover, when the predominant group was the high-grade group, the second predominant groups significantly influenced OS (P=0.033) but had no significant influence on DFS (P=0.31). Conclusions: The independent prognostic effect of the second predominant group was not identified for OS and DFS of lung adenocarcinoma. The effects of the second predominant subtype groups on OS and DFS were not evenly distributed among different predominant subtype groups, and the low-grade second predominant subtype exhibited some protective effects on the middle-grade predominant subtypes.
