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

Background: Surgical resection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a potentially curative option in selected patients. Current TNM staging systems emphasize the prognostic role of pathological N (pN) status, and in the 9 Methods: A total of 824 patients aged ≥18 years who underwent lung resection for NSCLC between 2007 and 2021 and were stage IIB, IIIA, or IIIB according to the 8 Results: The mean age was 59.7±8.58 years; 10.4% of patients were female. Squamous cell carcinoma (61.7%) and adenocarcinoma (32.5%) were the most common histologies. Lobectomy, pneumonectomy, and segmentectomy were performed in 52.3%, 46.8%, and 0.8% of patients, respectively. Age >70 years (p<0.001) and adenocarcinoma histology (p<0.001) were associated with worse survival, whereas gender and type of resection were not. pN2 disease had significantly worse survival than pN1 (p<0.001). In the 9 Conclusion: pN status, particularly pN2 subgroups in the 9
