The surgical outcomes of lung cancer combined with interstitial pneumonia: a single-institution report.

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
purposeSeveral studies have reported that an acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) can occur after lung resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, the perioperative management strategy is controversial.
methodsThe data of lung cancer patients at Nagasaki University Hospital from June 1994 to October 2013 were retrospectively reviewed.
resultsAmong all 1701 NSCLC patients who underwent lung resection, 59 (3.5%) had IIP. Five patients (8.5%) had an AE of IIP following lung resection, three (60%) of whom died in hospital. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify possible risk factors for AE. The univariate analyses identified LDH and the volume of blood loss as risk factors. The multivariate analysis identified no factors. The treatment for an AE included steroid pulse therapy and neutrophil elastase inhibitor therapy. Direct hemoperfusion with polymyxin B immobilized the fiber column and immunosuppressant therapy was attempted in some of the patients who did not respond to these treatments.
conclusionPatients with lung cancer and IIP have a higher risk of chest surgery and a poor prognosis. Very careful surgery and perioperative management are needed, because AEs are often difficult to AE predict.
