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

backgroundThis study was conducted to develop a preoperative in-hospital short-term rehabilitation program for surgical lung cancer patients, and investigate its feasibility, potential cost benefit and effectiveness on outcome measures including reduction of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and postoperative length of stay.

methodsA 7-day inpatient-based high-intensive rehabilitation regimen was performed between March 01, 2014 and June 30, 2015. It was combined with inspiratory muscles training (IMT) and aerobic endurance training and was tested in an enriched cohort study with 939 lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy in a regional thoracic unit.

resultsFinally, 939 patients were divided into pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) group (n=197) and non-PR (NPR) group (n=742), according to whether they received the 7-day preoperative in-hospital systematic rehabilitation. The PR group had a shorter total length of stay (14.7±4.0

conclusionsThe study showed the effectiveness of this systematic and high-intensive PR combining IMT and aerobic exercise in reductions of the length of stay and occurrence of PPCs without increase in in-hospital cost, suggesting the potential of this rehabilitation pattern as a practicable strategy performed preoperatively in surgical lung cancer patients.
