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

introductionLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Acinar is the most prevalent architectural pattern and is associated with an intermediate prognosis. Several studies have investigated the prognosis of acinar-predominant LUAD patients. Here, we aimed to move beyond the acinar-predominant classification and gain a more comprehensive understanding of how acinar minor components influence prognosis specifically when accompanying other histological patterns in LUAD.

methodsPatients were grouped by the proportion of acinar patterns in their tumors: acinar-predominant (AP), and acinar component (AC; non-acinar predominant LUAD with an acinar component of ≥5%). The clinicopathologic characteristics, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and a panel of well-characterized driver mutations, including

resultsAmong 1263 LUAD patients, 716 (56.7%) were AP, and 547 (43.3%) were AC. In AP, the frequency of

conclusionsWhile the predominant pattern primarily dictates prognosis in LAUD, the presence of an acinar minor component alongside other high-grade patterns may further worsen outcomes. This underscores the necessity of considering the broader histological landscape rather than focusing solely on predominant patterns, as our findings show that minor acinar components can impact RFS alongside other histological patterns.
