Prognostic Factors for Survival of Stage IB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients: A 10-Year Follow-Up Retrospective Study.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the prognostic factors for the long-term outcome of stage IB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
methodsSurgically resected patients with stage IB NSCLC diagnosed (based on TNM 8th edition) between April 2008 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. The prognosis and possible risk factors among the stage IB NSCLC patients were evaluated.
resultsOf the 349 patients identified for the study, 80 (22.9%) received post-surgery adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). The median follow-up time after surgery was 123.3 months. The 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 69.6%, and the 10-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was 62.8%. The patients in this cohort were divided into three groups (T1 with visceral pleural invasion [VPI], T2a without VPI, and T2a with VPI), and no significant differences in OS or RFS were found among the groups. Furthermore, survival analysis indicated that the absence of ground-glass opacity (GGO) components portends an adverse long-term OS and RFS. In a subgroup of patients with solid nodules, age older than 65 years (hazard ratio [HR] 1.987; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.312-3.010; p = 0.001) and ACT (HR 0.392; 95% CI 0.225-0.684; p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for OS, whereas lymphovascular invasion (HR 1.792; 95% CI 0.995-3.227; p = 0.052) should be considered as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor for RFS.
conclusionsAs an upstaging factor, VPI did not further stratify prognosis for the stage IB patients in our cohort. The presence of GGO components had a notable impact on a favorable prognosis in stage IB NSCLCs.
