Risk factors for postoperative complications and long-term survival in elderly lung cancer patients: a single institutional experience in Turkey.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundLung cancer is a typical disease of elderly patients. While there are many publications in the literature on factors affecting survival, there is still no consensus on the survival impact of lymph node dissection. Our objective in this study was to evaluate prognostic factors influencing rates of complications, mortality, and survival in geriatric patients who underwent surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsData obtained from the medical records of patients aged 70 years or older with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgery between January 01, 2008 and December 31, 2015 were evaluated retrospectively.
resultsOf the 72 patients included, 57 (79.2%) were male and 15 (20.8%) were female. Complications were observed in 42 patients (58.3%). Nineteen patients (26.4%) developed major complications. Percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (ppFEV1) and age was found to be risk factors for complications. Thirty days days mortality rate was 8.3%. Mortality was not significantly associated with low CCI, physical status, and ppFEV1 values. The 5-year survival rate was 40.5%. ppFEV1 were risk factors affecting survival, whereas radical lymph node dissection was not associated with survival.
conclusionThe main prognostic factors affecting long-term postoperative survival in the present study was a low postoperative ppFEV
