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 solid component of subsolid nodules (SSNs) is closely associated with the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma, and its accurate assessment is crucial for selecting treatment method. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of solid component size within SSNs measured on multiplanar volume rendering (MPVR) and compare it with the dimensions of invasive components on pathology. Methods: A pilot study was conducted using a chest phantom to determine the optimal MPVR threshold for the solid component within SSN, and then clinical validation was carried out by retrospective inclusion of patients with pathologically confirmed solitary SSN from October 2020 to October 2021. The radiological tumor size on MPVR and solid component size on MPVR (RSS Results: A total of 142 patients (mean age, 54±11 years, 39 men) were retrospectively enrolled in the clinical study, with 26 adenocarcinomas in situ, 92 minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (MIAs), and 24 invasive adenocarcinomas (IAs). The RSS Conclusions: Using MPVR to predict the invasive degree of SSN had high accuracy and good inter-observer agreement, which is superior to lung window measurements and helpful for clinical decision-making.
