Analysis of lung volume reduction surgery results with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in emphysematous lung patients.

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
aimIn our study, we aimed to evaluate the results of patients who underwent lung volume reduction surgery with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery due to diffuse or upper lobe limited emphysema. MATERIAL AND
methodsPatients who underwent lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for emphysema in our clinic between March 2015 and January 2020 were included in the study. The files of the patients were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, smoking history, hospitalization time, drain removal time, complications, and postoperative pulmonary function test values were evaluated in the patient records.
resultsTwenty-four of the patients were male and 2 were female. The average age was determined as 49.6. Twenty-six patients underwent 31 surgical procedures, 5 of which were bilateral. Twenty-seven of them were performed by videothoracoscopic LVRS. Preoperative mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
conclusionsVolume reduction surgery is a treatment method that positively affects the natural course of emphysema in addition to quitting smoking and oxygen therapy. Patients with predominantly emphysema in the upper lobes, low exercise capacity, and appropriate FEV
