Influence of lung resection volume on risk of primary spontaneous pneumothorax recurrence.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThoracoscopic stapled bullectomy is a popular procedure for the treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) that has a relatively high postoperative recurrence rate. One reason for PSP recurrence is the formation of a new bulla around the staple line. We hypothesized that different resected specimen volumes might cause differences in staple line tension. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between postoperative pneumothorax recurrence and resected lung volume.
methodsBetween April, 2009 and December 2013, 360 cases which underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for PSP were selected. Recurrence after VATS was examined by electronic medical records and telephone survey. Resected volume and vertical area of specimen were calculated with the size of pathologic specimen.
resultsA mean follow up period was 44.5±24.4 months and recurrence rate was 11.1% (40/360). Large volume of resected specimen (≥16 cm
conclusionsBulky resection during VATS for PSP increases the risk of recurrence. Large volume and vertical area of resected specimen are associated with greater tension in stapling line. Avoidance of wide resection and the firing of stapler after full collapse of lung are recommended for reducing the pneumothorax recurrence after VATS.
