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

backgroundSurgery is the optimal choice for early invasive mucinous lung adenocarcinoma (IMA). A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to explore the prognostic factors for resected IMA.

methodsWe systematically reviewed the prognostic role of clinicopathological and genomic factors in resected IMA patients. Eligible studies on the treatment of IMA following the systematic search of PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library from January 2015 to January 2024 were identified. Outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival/recurrence-free survival (DFS/RFS). The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used as impact indicators for systematic review and meta-analysis.

resultsSixteen studies involving 3,484 patients with IMA were included. The results of the combined analysis showed that male and smoking were associated with a worse prognosis. Furthermore, advanced clinical stage, poor differentiation grade, presence of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) and spread through air spaces (STAS), and presence of KRAS mutations were also associated with worse prognosis.

conclusionsGender, smoking, clinical stage, tumor size, differentiation grading, VPI, STAS and KRAS mutation affect DFS/RFS and OS of IMA patients after surgery. Identifying these factors may aid physicians in developing more individualized treatment plans for resectable IMA patients.
