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: Lung cancer with interstitial pneumonia is known to be a refractory disease. We explored whether systemic inflammatory response markers are associated with outcomes in these patients. Methods: The participants of this multicenter retrospective study, consisting of 17 medical institutions, were treatment-naïve patients with lung cancer combined with interstitial pneumonia who underwent surgical resection between 2012 and 2017. We reviewed clinicopathologic characteristics, including systemic inflammatory response markers, and examined the relationship between these characteristics and postoperative survival. Results: According to the inclusion criteria, the final cohort consisted of 181 patients. Among preoperative systemic inflammatory response markers, the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio was an independent prognostic factor in multivariable analysis (hazard ratio, 1.71; Conclusions: Our results indicate that the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in treatment-naïve patients with lung cancer combined with interstitial pneumonia.
