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

Biphasic structures, which are composed of outer basal cells and inner glandular cells, are frequently indicative of salivary gland-type tumors or benign lesions, such as bronchial adenoma, within the lung. However, the occurrence of a biphasic structure in lung cancer is rarely reported and can lead to significant challenges and confusion in diagnosis, particularly in biopsy specimens. In our study, we collected eight lung epithelial tumors that presented with a distinct biphasic structure component and examined their clinicopathological characteristics. Histological examination revealed that the biphasic structure component, often intermingled with conventional squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, was defined by basal cells encircling the glandular epithelium. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated a distinctive peripheral p40 staining pattern in the biphasic structure component. Genetic analysis identified driver mutations in seven out of eight patients, which are typically associated with conventional pulmonary adenocarcinomas, including
