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 Lung Cancer Study Group previously established lobectomy as the standard of care for treatment of clinical T1N0 NSCLC. Advances in imaging technology and refinements in staging have prompted a re-investigation to determine the non-inferiority of sub-lobar resections to lobectomies. Two recent randomized studies, JCOG 0802 and CALGB 140503, are reviewed here in the context of LCSG 0821. The studies confirm non-inferiority for sub-lobar resection (wedge or segmentectomy) compared to lobectomy for peripheral T1N0 NSCLC less than or equal to 2 cm. Sub-lobar resection should therefore be considered the new standard of care in this sub-set of patients with NSCLC.
