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

backgroundBronchoplastic and broncho-arterioplastic lobectomy is technically demanding. Present study performed a prognostic analysis of lobectomy patient based on 10-year data in a high-volume center.

methodsOverall, 161 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases underwent bronchoplastic and broncho-arterioplastic lobectomy between January 2004 and November 2013. Follow-up information was obtained for 88.8% patients. Prognostic analysis was performed with the Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsThere were 133 bronchoplastic and 28 broncho-arterioplastic procedures. In detail, 97 sleeve and 64 wedge broncho-resection and reconstructions were conducted; pulmonary artery sleeve reconstructions were performed in 26 cases and tangential resection in 135 cases. 90-day post-operative mortality was 3.1% (5/161), and 24.8% (40/161) patients had post-operative complications. 5-year overall survival was 53.4% and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 48.2% for the entire case series; these survival rates were 67.7% and 55.7% for stage I (n=31), 64.4% and 58.9% for stage II (n=62), and 36.9% and 31.9% for stage III disease, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that age >65 and higher grade of pN were associated with worse overall survival while right side tumor, non-squamous histology type, and higher grade of pT and pN were associated with worse DFS. Multivariate analysis revealed that pN is the only independent factor of worse outcome.

conclusionsBronchoplastic and broncho-arterioplastic lobectomy are safe procedures for indicated NSCLC patients associated with a low rate of post-operative complications but favorable long-term survival. Recognition of prognostic factors helps improve outcomes for these patients.
