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

purposeTo explore the added value of quantitative parameters derived from routine chest contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in distinguishing malignant from benign solid pulmonary nodules (SPNs).

methodsEighty-one SPNs pathologically confirmed as benign or malignant with preoperative nonenhanced chest and CECT scans were retrospectively analyzed. Quantitative parameters [CT attenuation value of nonenhanced phase (AV

resultsMalignant SPNs showed higher age and greater AV

conclusionsQuantitative CECT parameters, particularly AV
