Comprehensive analysis of clinicopathological profiles in adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung.

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
objectivesAdenosquamous carcinoma (ASC), an uncommon subtype within non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), manifests distinctive traits of aggressiveness, embodying a fusion of both adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) components. The clinicopathological characteristics of distinct subtypes of ASC remain unclear.
methodsThis retrospective study included 226 patients diagnosed with lung ASC who consecutively underwent surgical resection at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University, between January 2015 and March 2021. Data regarding the clinical features and pathological features were collected.
resultsOut of this study cohort, 125 patients exhibited AC-predominant ASC, while 81 had SCC-predominant ASC. No significant differences were observed between the two subgroups in terms of age, gender, smoking history, primary site, and T, N classification. AC-Predominant ASC displayed a higher susceptibility to genetic alterations compared to SCC-Predominant ASC (P=0.02). Additionally, we showed that irrespective of the predominant pathological subtype in ASC, when lymph node metastasis occurred, the lymph node biopsies were more likely to exhibit AC, and a chi-square test confirmed that the primary predominant pathological subtype was not associated with the lymph node metastasis subtype.
conclusionsIn conclusion, we describe an overview of ASC in the Chinese population, and upon stratifying into predominant pathological subgroups, we observed a higher frequency of driver gene mutations in AC-predominant ASC. We found that the AC component in ASC has a higher propensity for lymph node metastasis. These findings may suggest the predominant role of the AC component within the context of ASC.
