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.
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
purposeThe present study reviewed surgical cases of lung cancer associated with cystic airspace (LCCA) and examined the imaging and clinicopathological features of these cases.
methodsA total of 75 patients with lung cancer associated with cystic airspace, who underwent lung cancer surgery in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2020, were included. We retrospectively analyzed the association between postoperative recurrence of lung cancer and lung cancer associated with the cystic airspace using the Cox proportional hazards model.
resultsPatients with LCCA had a worse prognosis than those with non-LCCA. Furthermore, a univariate analysis showed a significant difference between sex, smoking, differentiation, tumor size, Stage, and LCCA, while a multivariate analysis showed a significant difference between Stage and LCCA. LCCA cases were classified into four categories, as reported in a previous study. Types I and III showed more adenocarcinomas, while Type IV tended to show squamous cell carcinomas.
conclusionsLCCA has a poor prognosis. It is often difficult to determine which of the T factors of the TNM classification are applied. Therefore, further studies are needed to accumulate more LCCA cases.
