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: The eighth T classification excluded lepidic and ground-glass opacity (GGO) components. Current studies demonstrated lepidic and GGO components showed independent prognostic significances. This study elucidated the correlations and prognostic impacts of pathological and radiological T descriptors in invasive lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: A total of 1,490 patients with invasive lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Correlation between pathological invasive size (PIS) and radiological solid size (RSS), and lepidic ratio and GGO ratio were comprehensively evaluated. Impacts of these pathological and radiological T descriptors on recurrence-free survival (RFS) were comparatively analyzed. Results: Clinical (c)T-stage was more frequently downstaged than upstaged comparing with the pathological (p)T-stage (28.4% Conclusions: Among T1 invasive lung adenocarcinoma, GGO ratio showed independent prognostic value for RFS, regardless of RSS. Meanwhile, lepidic ratio was not an independent RFS factor. GGO component rather than lepidic component should be considered as an additional T descriptor.
