Comparison between quantitative computed tomography, scintigraphy, and anatomical methods for prediction of postoperative FEV
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundPostoperative assessment of pulmonary function is important for estimating the risk of thoracic surgery and long-term disability following pulmonary resection, including predicted postoperative (ppo) forced expiratory volume (FEV) in one second (ppoFEV
methodsThis prospective study included 59 eligible patients requiring single lobectomy and succeeded in performing pulmonary function tests at 3 and 12 months after lobectomy. The ppoFEV
resultsFor non-COPD and COPD patients, the smallest mean difference between ppo and po values was observed by S for FEV
conclusionsThe S method is adequate for calculating ppoFEV
