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

purposeThere is limited evidence concerning the computed tomography (CT) follow-up interval to detect recurrence and second primary cancers after surgery for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of CT interval on survival after surgery.

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed the prognosis of 103 patients who underwent periodic CT after complete resection for pathological stage II-III NSCLC at a single institute between 2015 and 2020. The patients were stratified based on the follow-up CT intervals into the half-year group (Group H) and annual group (Group A). Additionally, the underlying differences in clinical backgrounds between the 2 groups were adjusted by propensity score matching.

resultsA total of 103 patients (Group H, 76 patients; Group A, 27 patients) were included in this study. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates in the unmatched cohort were 83.5% and 95.2% in groups H and A, respectively ( P = 0.17). Among the matched cohort, 42 and 21 patients were in groups H and A. The 5-year OS rates of the matched cohort were 89.8% and 94.4% in groups H and A ( P = 0.45), with no significant difference.

conclusionsThere was no association between CT intervals and postoperative survival.
