Routine intensive monitoring but not routine intensive care unit-based management is necessary in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy for lung cancer.

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
backgroundEvidence for immediate postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) care is still lacking in the era of minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). We evaluated the safety and feasibility of general ward (GW) care after VATS lobectomy for lung cancer.
methodsA total of 451 patients who underwent VATS lobectomy for lung cancer between June 2012 and August 2017 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into two groups (ICU 344
resultsImmediate complications (within 24 hours after surgery) occurred in 0.4%. Non-immediate complications occurred in 18.8%. There were no differences in the incidence of complications and mortality between the two groups, after propensity matching. However, the length of postoperative stay (12.6±10.0
conclusionsImmediate postoperative care after VATS lobectomy for lung cancer in GW was safe and feasible without poor outcomes. Therefore, selective intensive monitoring for high risk groups may offer cost-saving and efficient use of ICU resources.
