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.

Abstract

backgroundThis study assessed the incidence and risk factors (RFs) of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and its impact on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing pneumonectomy for lung cancer.

methodsBetween 2013 and 2018, this monocentric retrospective study enrolled 324 consecutive pneumonectomy patients for primary lung cancer from our institution and 350 lobectomy and 349 segmentectomy cases matched by age, sex and body mass index (BMI). RF for POAF and postoperative death in pneumonectomy patients were assessed by logistic regression, and long-term outcomes after a median follow-up of 30 (range, 2-61) months by Cox proportional hazard model. Electrophysiology study (EPS) files of 30 AF patients with lung resection history were reviewed.

resultsPOAF developed more often after pneumonectomy than lobectomy and segmentectomy (23.2%

conclusionsPost-pneumonectomy AF, with remarkable incidence, risk and independent predictors including age >60 years and LAd ≥35 mm, was mostly solitary and possibly secondary to stump and non-stump PV triggers. POAF, along with infection and hemorrhage, was a RF for perioperative death.
