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

backgroundOxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) sheet, in surgery of primary spontaneous pneumothorax, is used to reinforce the visceral pleura around the staple line coverage aiming to prevent a postoperative recurrence. We evaluated the effect of ORC on recurrence within 2 years after surgery.

methodsA total of 201 patients aged < 40 years who underwent bullectomy for primary spontaneous pneumothorax at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. They were classified into an ORC sheet coverage group (ORC group, n = 100) and a non-coverage group (n-ORC group, n = 101). Two-year recurrence-free survival rates are assessed between the two groups with associated analysis of radiographical and operative findings.

resultsORC had no effect on the recurrence rate. CT images and re-operative findings showed regenerated bullae in 19 and 14 patients, close to staple lines in 14 and 11 patients, respectively. White pleural thickening within the covered area was observed in all patients of the ORC group. Pathological findings also showed pleural thickening in eight patients and bulla regeneration under pleural thickening in six patients.

conclusionsCoverage with an ORC sheet after bullectomy did not prevent the regeneration of bullae and postoperative recurrence, regardless of exerting a reinforcement effect on the visceral pleura histologically.
