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

The regular use of high-resolution computed tomogram scans has led to an increase in the detection of asymptomatic ground-glass opacities and sub-solid nodules at an early stage. Different growth patterns of these lesions are making decision-making a real challenge. With growing experience and improving radiology interventions, management of these lesions is changing constantly. However, with variations in growth patterns and outcomes, immediate treatment options as well as follow-up surveillance and subsequent interventions can be confounding for the clinicians. This mini review describes algorithms for managing these ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and sub-solid nodules (SSNs) with a focus on the surgical options.
