The impact of resection method and patient factors on quality of life among stage IA non-small cell lung cancer surgical patients.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04805723 (Comparison of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy Surgery and Thoracotomy on Cardiorespiratory Parameters in Patients With Pulmonary Nodules), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesGiven the increased number of treatment options for stage IA lung cancer patients, there is a growing body of literature that focuses on comparing each option's relative impact on quality of life (QoL). The current study seeks to further understand the differences in these patients' QoL according to surgical approach.
methodsScreening-diagnosed first primary pathologic stage IA non-small-cell lung cancer surgical patients from the I-ELCAP cohort who answered a baseline and 1-year follow-up QoL questionnaire (SF-12) were included in the analysis. Thoracotomy patients (N = 85) were compared with VATS patients (N = 15) using paired t-tests and analysis of variance tests.
resultsMultivariate analyses indicated no differences in QoL change between the two groups from pre- to post-surgery. Physical and emotional role functioning significantly improved among VATS patients and worsened among thoracotomy patients. Among thoracotomy patients, a significant decrease in post-surgical physical QoL was observed only in those who underwent lobectomy (-3.3; 95% CI: -5.1,-1.5), not limited resection.
conclusionsAlthough the sample size is small, preliminary findings underscore that changes in overall QoL are similar in VATS and thoracotomy stage IA lung cancer patients. Extension of the resection may be a more relevant factor on QoL post-surgery. J. Surg. Oncol. 2017;115:173-180. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
