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

Introduction: This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for both pathologically diagnosed (PD) and clinically diagnosed (CD) early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and explored the significance of accurate expert computed tomography (CT) interpretation. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 95 patients with early-stage NSCLC who received SBRT at our institution. Patients were classified into CD and PD groups. Two chest radiologists retrospectively interpreted the pre-SBRT CT images to determine the tumor subtype and probability of malignancy (PM). Clinical findings, CT features, and treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. The survival rate of the CD group was analyzed separately according to the PM grade. Results: Median overall survival for the CD and PD groups was 6.0 and 5.4 years ( Conclusion: It may be desirable to evaluate the PM of the nodule using expert CT interpretation to decide whether SBRT is indicated in CD early-stage NSCLC.
