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

objectivesIn non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), T factor plays an important role in determining staging. The present study aimed to determine the validity of preoperative evaluation of clinical T (cT) factor by comparing radiological and pathological tumor sizes.

methodsData for 1,799 patients with primary NSCLC who underwent curative surgery were investigated. The concordance between cT and pathological T (pT) factors was analyzed. Furthermore, we compared groups with an increase or decrease of ≥ 20% and groups with an increase or decrease of < 20% in the size change between preoperative radiological and pathological diameters.

resultsThe mean sizes of the radiological solid components and the pathological invasive tumors were 1.90 cm and 1.99 cm, respectively, correlation degree = 0.782. The group with increased pathological invasive tumor size (≥ 20%) compared with the radiologic solid component was significantly more likely female, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) ≤ 0.5, and within cT1. Multivariate logistic analysis identified CTR < 1, cT ≤ T1, and adenocarcinoma as independent risk factors for increased pT factor.

conclusionThe radiological invasive area of tumors with cT1, CTR < 1, or adenocarcinoma on preoperative CT may be underestimated compared with pathological invasive diameter.
