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 is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. It is of great significance to conduct in-depth research on early lung cancer with a better prognosis. This study aimed to use the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and survival between early squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) under the same treatment model, and develop a nomogram for early lung SQCC. Methods: This study examined 40,325 cases of stage T1-T2N0M0 lung SQCC and AC from 2004 to 2019. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce bias. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models were used for assessing lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS) under various treatments. A nomogram for early-stage SQCC was constructed and validated using the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: In patients with T1-T2N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), when only radiotherapy was performed, the LCSS of patients in the SQCC group was worse than that of the AC group [hazard ratio (HR) =1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.079-1.336, P<0.001], and same for 3-year LCSS (55.9% Conclusions: The prognosis of patients with T1-T2N0M0 lung SQCC is worse than that of AC patients. Individualized treatment is recommended in the early stages.
