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

backgroundSubsolid nodules (SSNs) pose a diagnostic challenge in lung adenocarcinoma management. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) allows detailed characterization of SSNs, aiding in distinguishing pathological subtypes.

objectiveTo investigate the correlation between HRCT features and pathological subtypes of SSNs, and their association with nodule size and morphological features.

methodsClinical and HRCT data from 84 patients with surgically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent preoperative CT scans, with lesions measuring ≤3.0 cm and a ground-glass opacity component ≥50%. The evaluated CT characteristics included leison size, lobulation, spiculation, pleural indentation, and CT values. Pathological diagnosis were established according to the latest classification standards.

resultsSignificant differences were observed among AIS, MIA, and IAC groups in age, lobulation, spiculation, and nodule size (all P<0.01). IAC showed larger size (90.9% between 8-10 mm) and more aggressive features than AIS (57.6% ≤8 mm). Advanced vascular and bronchial patterns were associated with invasive subtypes (P<0.001). EGFR+ tumors exhibited larger size and higher CT values. Multivariate analysis identified age ≥55, lesion diameter ≥8.51 mm, and bronchial pattern as significant predictors for distinguishing MIA from IAC.

conclusionHRCT features effectively reflect pathological invasiveness of SSNs and can assist in differentiating lung adenocarcinoma subtypes, providing valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
