The prognosis of stage I non-small cell lung cancer with visceral pleural invasion and whole pleural adhesion after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy: A single center retrospective study.
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 9 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
backgroundIn cases of peripheral lung cancer with visceral pleural invasion and severe pleural adhesion, the question arises as to whether video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a safe operation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether whole pleural adhesion is a risk factor for recurrence of cancer when performing VATS lobectomy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with visceral pleural invasion.
methodsFrom 2010 to 2018, 123 consecutive patients who were diagnosed as stage I NSCLC with visceral pleural invasion and who underwent VATS lobectomy, were reviewed retrospectively. Those patients with partial pleural adhesion were excluded. The prognoses of the patients in the whole pleural adhesion group were compared with those of the non-adhesion group.
resultsThe clinicopathological characteristics were not found to differ between the two groups, with the exception of age. The mean age of the whole pleural adhesion group was found to be greater than that of the non-adhesion group (70.6
conclusionsWhole pleural adhesion was not a risk factor for recurrence after VATS lobectomy in stage I NSCLC with visceral pleural invasion. However, the extent of lymph node dissection was identified as an important prognostic factor.
