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

backgroundDiagnosing and treating synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (sMPLC) are complex and challenging. This study aimed to report real-world data on the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of patients with early-stage sMPLC. MATERIALS AND

methodsA single-center cohort study was carried out and a large number of patients with early-stage sMPLC were included. A single- or two-stage surgery was performed to remove the primary and co-existing lesions. The "X" strategies, including ablation, SBRT, and EGFR-TKIs treatment, were applied to treat the high-risk residual lesions. Wide panel-genomic sequencing was performed to assess the genetic heterogeneity of the co-existing lesions.

resultsA total of 465 early-stage sMPLC patients with 1198 resected lesions were included. Despite most patients being histologically different or harboring different genetic alternations, about 7.5% of the patients had the same histological type and driver gene mutation changes, comprehensive re-evaluation is thus needed. The "Surgery + X" strategy showed remarkable efficacy and safety in treating multiple lesions. Follow-up data revealed that the T2 stage (p = 0.014) and the solid presence of a primary lesion (p < 0.001) were significantly related to tumor recurrence. And a T2-stage primary tumor had a significantly higher rate of developing new lesions after the initial surgery (p < 0.001).

conclusionsIn real-world practice, histopathological and radiological evaluation combined with genetic analyses could be a robust diagnostic approach for sMPLC. The "Surgery + X" treatment strategy showed remarkable efficacy, superiority, and safety in the clinical treatment of early-stage sMPLC.
