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

backgroundAs the positions and sizes of nodules in synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) patients differ, the development of surgical strategies to maximize long-term survival and preserved postoperative pulmonary function in SMPLC patients for whom surgical resection is an alternative strategy presents challenges. CASE PRESENTATION: We provide a case managed through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection using three-dimensional computed tomography lung reconstruction (3D-CTLR) to reconstruct lobes containing pulmonary nodules to preoperatively simulate and intraoperatively guide the extent and method of resection.

conclusionThe successful attempt demonstrates a technically simplified, feasible alternative to preoperative plans utilizing less invasive VATS to manage SMPLC.
