Survival and prognostic factors in patients undergoing extended pulmonary metastasectomy.

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
Extended pulmonary metastasectomy has become feasible in patients with extrapulmonary metastases and multiple or bilateral pulmonary metastases. Even peritoneal dissemination is considered to be curable in modern medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the prognosis of patients undergoing complete pulmonary metastasectomy. A total of 80 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for lung metastases were retrospectively analyzed. The eligibility criteria for the present study were as follows: i) the primary tumor was controlled; ii) if extrapulmonary metastases (including peritoneal dissemination) existed, these were controlled by local treatment or such treatment was planned; iii) the one to three months follow-up computed tomography (CT) following the first assessment revealed no increase of pulmonary metastatic disease; iv) pulmonary metastases could be resected completely. The overall 5- and 10-year survival rates were 71.7 and 41.5%, respectively. Applying the extended criteria for surgery, the present study demonstrated that pulmonary metastasectomy resulted in a good patient prognosis.
