1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Compared to surgery there is no evidence on bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (LVR) in patients with fading benefit after LVR surgery. CASE REPORT: We present a case of 64-year old female patient who was successfully treated with bronchial thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) after previous ineffective lung volume reduction (LVR) surgery several months earlier.

conclusionsBronchoscopic LVR, in particular BTVA, might be considered in patients with fading or missing effects after previous LVRS. At least, the safety profile of BTVA seems not be adversely affected by previous LVRS, when proper patient selection and procedure planning are ensured.
