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

backgroundFemale gender has been associated with worse outcomes after cardiovascular surgery and critical illness. We investigated the effect of gender on perioperative outcomes following robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 282 consecutive patients who underwent robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy by one surgeon over 53 months. Perioperative outcomes and clinically significant intraoperative and postoperative complications, including respiratory and cardiovascular events, were noted. Chi-Square (χ

resultsThere were 128 men (mean age, 68.8 yr) and 154 women (mean age, 65.9 yr; P=0.02). Women had higher preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second as percent of predicted (FEV1%; P=0.001). There were more former smokers in the male cohort (P=0.03) and more nonsmokers in the female cohort (P<0.001). Women had smaller tumors (3.0±0.1

conclusionsFemale gender was associated with rates of intraoperative complications and of conversion to open lobectomy as low as those for men, but with better perioperative outcomes, lower risk of intraoperative bleeding, and fewer postoperative complications. Thus, robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy is feasible and safe for women.
