Histopathologic fate of resected pulmonary pure ground glass nodule: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Pure ground glass nodules (GGNs) have been increasingly detected through lung cancer screening programs. However, there were limited reports about pathologic characteristics of pure GGN. Here we presented a meta-analysis of the histologic outcome and proportion analysis of pure GGN. Methods: This study included previous pathological reports of pure GGN published until June 14, 2022 following a systematic search. A meta-analysis estimated the summary effects and between-study heterogeneity for pathologic diagnosis of invasive adenocarcinoma (IA), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), and atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH). Results: This study incorporated 24 studies with 3,845 cases of pure GGN that underwent surgery. Among them, sublobar resection was undertaken in 60% of the patients [95% confidence interval (CI): 38-78%, I Conclusions: The portion of IA in cases of pure GGN is significantly larger that expected. More than half of them owned invasiveness components if MIA and IA were combined. Furthermore, there were quite number of lesions with aggressive histologic patterns other than the lepidic subtype. Therefore, further attempts are necessary to differentiate advanced histologic subtype among radiologically favorable pure GGN.
