Lung volume reduction surgery or bronchoscopic lung volume reduction: is there an algorithm for allocation?
Review 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 10 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
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the world with the annual number of deaths increasing every year. Alterations in chest wall mechanics, respiratory muscle mechanics, and impaired cardiac function that result from increased air-trapping are well known sequelae of COPD and contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. A reduction in hyperinflation can improve cardiopulmonary function. In selected patients with COPD and an emphysema phenotype, lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has demonstrated improvements in symptom burden and mortality. Minimally invasive bronchoscopic techniques that reduce end-expiratory lung volume have shown improvements in lung function, dyspnea and quality of life. In this review, we review selection criteria, risks, and benefits of surgical and bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR). Recommendations are provided to guide treatment decisions based on the current literature.
