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: High-grade growth patterns (HGPs) have a negative impact on the prognosis of patients with lung invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). This study aimed to use clinical and computed tomography (CT) features to determine the presence of HGPs and pathological grade based on the proportion of HGPs in ground-glass opacity (GGO)-IACs. Methods: From September 2017 to December 2024, a total of 1,881 patients comprising 1,979 GGO-IACs (group A: 490 with HGPs; group B: 1,489 without HGPs) were retrospectively enrolled. The patients' clinical characteristics and CT features of lesions in both groups were analyzed and compared, and models for predicting the presence of HGPs and pathological grade were constructed. Results: The multivariate analysis revealed that the independent predictors of HGPs were an ill-defined boundary [odds ratio (OR) =4.442], part-solid manifestation (OR =2.423), marginally distributed solid component (OR =3.727), spiculation (OR =2.956), pleural indentation (OR =1.968), pleural tag (OR =1.751), and a consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) >21.5% (OR =1.029, P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the model for predicting the presence of HGPs was 0.792 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.767-0.816]. Additionally, the independent predictors of poorly differentiated GGO-IACs were an ill-defined boundary (OR =1.867), spiculation (OR =2.197), a marginally distributed component (OR =1.929), absence of lobulation (OR =2.639), and a CTR >28.5% (OR =1.023, P<0.001). The AUC of the model for predicting poorly differentiated GGO-IACs was 0.739 (95% CI: 0.689-0.790). Conclusions: The CT-based predictive models demonstrated good performance in assessing the presence of HGPs and poorly differentiated lesions in patients with suspected GGO-IACs.
