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

backgroundThe solid pattern is a highly malignant subtype of lung adenocarcinoma. In the current era of transitioning from lobectomy to sublobar resection for the surgical treatment of small lung cancers, preoperative identification of this subtype is highly important for patient surgical approach selection and long-term prognosis.

methodsA total of 1489 patients with clinical stage IA1-2 primary lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled. Based on patient clinical characteristics and lung imaging features obtained via deep learning, highly correlated diagnostic factors were identified through LASSO regression and decision tree analysis. Subsequently, a logistic model and nomogram were constructed. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to calculate the optimal inflection point of quantitative data and the differences between the groups.

resultsThe three-dimensional proportion of solid component (PSC), sex, and smoking status was identified as being highly correlated diagnostic factors for solid predominant adenocarcinoma. The logistic model had good prediction efficiency, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.85. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the application of diagnostic factors can improve patient outcomes. RCS analysis indicated that the proportion of solid adenocarcinomas increased by 4.6 times when the PSC was ≥72%. A PSC of 72% is a good cutoff point.

conclusionThe preoperative diagnosis of solid-pattern adenocarcinoma can be confirmed by typical imaging features and clinical characteristics, assisting the thoracic surgeon in developing a more precise surgical plan.
