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: We invest computed tomography (CT) image differences between non-invasive adenocarcinomas (NIAs) and invasive adenocarcinomas (IAs) presenting as pure ground glass nodules (GGNs). Methods: From 2013 to 2019, 48 pure GGNs were surgically resected in 45 patients. Of these, 40 were pathologically diagnosed as non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). We assessed them using the Synapse Vincent (Fujifilm Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) three-dimensional (3D) analysis system; we drew histograms of the CT densities. We calculated the maximum, minimum, means, and standard deviations of the densities. The proportions of GGNs of high CT density were compared between the two groups. The diagnostic performance was investigated via receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. Results: Of the 40 pure GGNs, 20 were NIAs (4 adenocarcinomas Conclusions: CT density reflected the invasiveness of pure GGNs. A CT volume proportion density >-300 Hounsfield units may significantly predict histological invasiveness.
