The Impact of a Newly Established Multidisciplinary Team on the Interventional Treatment of Patients With Emphysema.
Article in Clinical medicine insights. Circulatory, respiratory and pulmonary medicine, 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
backgroundThe emphysema interventional treatment involves mainly lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and endobronchial valve (EBV) implantation. Few institutes discuss these cases at a dedicated emphysema multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting.
objectivesTo investigate the impact of a newly established dedicated emphysema MDT meeting on the interventional treatment of such patients.
methodsDuring a study period of 4 years, the outcome of 44 patients who underwent intervention according to the proposal of the emphysema MDT (group A) was compared with the outcome of 44 propensity score matched patients (group B) treated without the emphysema MDT proposal.
resultsMore LVRS and less EBV insertions were performed in group A (
conclusionsInterventional treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after discussion at a dedicated MDT involved more LVRS performed, required fewer interventions for their disease, and had longer re-intervention-free intervals and better breathing improvement.
