Factors associated with compensatory lung growth after pulmonary lobectomy for lung malignancy: an analysis of lung weight and lung volume changes based on computed tomography findings.
Article in Surgery today, 2020. 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
purposeTo establish the factors associated with compensatory lung growth (CLG) in human adults.
methodsThe subjects of this study were 216 patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy between January 2008 and March 2015 and had computed tomography (CT) scans done before and 2 years after surgery with no signs of recurrence. The predicted postoperative values of lung volume and lung weight, based on the preoperative CT data, were compared with those 2 years after surgery.
resultsWhen the predicted postoperative values were considered to be 100%, the mean lung volume and lung weight 2 years after surgery were 116 ± 16% and 115 ± 19%, respectively. CLG was defined as both lung volume ≥ 110% and lung weight ≥ 106% (CLG group; n = 108). Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that younger age (≤ 60 years), a larger number of resected subsegments (≥ 10), and a light- (< 20 pack-years) or non-smoking history were significantly associated with CLG.
conclusionsThis study identified younger age, a light- or non-smoking history, and a large resection volume as the predictors of CLG in patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy for lung malignancy. All of these three factors may be reasonably connected to CLG.
