Association between postoperative bulla neogenesis at the staple line and resected lung weight for primary spontaneous pneumothorax: a retrospective study using the inverse-probability of treatment weighted method in patients grouped according to age.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundBullectomy using autosutures is the standard procedure in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). However, postoperative bulla neogenesis (POBN) along the staple line is relatively common and promotes PSP recurrence. We have previously reported the relationship between POBN and resected lung weight (LW). However, recently published data indicate that young patients with PSP have a high postoperative recurrence rate. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between POBN and LW in PSP patients, subdivided according to age.
methodsBetween February 2011 and April 2016, 96 lung-resection sites in 67 patients who underwent bullectomy were evaluated. Patients were subdivided into two groups by age: Y group (<25 years, 56 sites) and O group (≥25 years, 40 sites). We used the inverse-probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) method to adjust for the heterogeneity in their backgrounds. POBN was diagnosed by computed tomography.
resultsCox regression analysis for the O group indicated that LW ≥3.0 g was a significant risk factor for POBN (P=0.049). For the Y group, no association between lung weight and POBN was observed.
conclusionsA LW ≥3.0 g is a significant risk factor for POBN in individuals aged ≥25 years.
