No compensatory lung growth after resection in a one-year follow-up cohort of patients with lung cancer.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04070612 (National Prospective Cohort for Monitoring Children With Severe Autoimmune Cytopenia), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
backgroundAs compensatory lung growth after lung resection has been studied in animals of various ages and in one case report in a young adult, it has not been studied in a cohort of adults operated for lung cancer.
methodsA prospective study including patients with lung cancer was conducted over two years. Parenchymal mass was calculated using computed tomography before (M0) and at 3 and 12 months (M3 and M12) after surgery. Respiratory function was estimated by plethysmography and CO/NO lung transfer (D
resultsForty-nine patients underwent a pneumonectomy (N=12) or a lobectomy (N=37) thirty two completed the protocol. Among all patients, from M3 to M12 the masses of the operated lungs (239±58 to 238±72 g in the lobectomy group) and of the non-operated lungs (393±84 to 377±68 g) did not change. Adjusted by the alveolar volume (V
conclusionsCompensatory lung growth did not occur over one year after lung surgery. The lung function data could suggest a slight recruitment or distension of capillaries owing to the likely hemodynamic alterations. An angiogenesis process is unlikely.
