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

purposeTo explore valuable predictors for mediastinal lymph node metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, we analyzed the potential roles of standardized uptake value (SUV)-derived parameters from preoperative

methodsData from 224 NSCLC patients who underwent preoperative

resultsThe mediastinal lymph node metastasis rates in 224 patients for model construction and 100 patients for model validation were 24.1% (54/224) and 25% (25/100), respectively. It was found that SUVmax of mediastinal lymph node ≥ 2.49, primary-tumor SUVmax ≥ 4.11, primary-tumor SUVpeak ≥ 2.92, primary-tumor SUVmean ≥ 2.39, primary-tumor MTV ≥ 30.88 cm

conclusionHigh SUV-derived parameters (SUVmax of mediastinal lymph node and primary-tumor SUVmax, SUVpeak, SUVmean, MTV and TLG) might provide varying degrees of predictive value for mediastinal lymph node metastasis in NSCLC patients. In particular, the SUVmax of mediastinal lymph nodes and primary-tumor SUVpeak could be independently and significantly associated with mediastinal lymph node metastasis in NSCLC and lung adenocarcinoma patients. Internal and external validation confirmed that the pretherapeutic SUVmax of the mediastinal lymph node and primary-tumor SUVpeak combined with serum CEA and SCC can effectively predict mediastinal lymph node metastasis of NSCLC patients.
