[Preoperative evaluation and risk estimation in thoracic surgery].
Article in Der Anaesthesist, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Preoperative evaluation of patients undergoing lung resection remains an interdisciplinary challenge. Despite substantial progress in anesthesiology, intensive care medicine and surgery, mortality of patients undergoing pneumonectomy remains high at 5-9%. Guidelines were developed to identify patients with an increased perioperative risk for morbidity and mortality. These guidelines are focused around the forced expiratory capacity (FEV) measured by spirometry, following further investigations in patients with limited FEV(1). Extended testing includes measurement of the diffusion capacity, calculation of postoperative predicted values of lung function and spiroergometry to determine maximal oxygen uptake. In this article the methods to measure parameters of lung function and gas exchange are described and evaluated in the context of the current guidelines.
