A Stepwise Approach for Postlobectomy Bronchopleural Fistula.
Article in Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : a comparative atlas : an official publication of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Although rare, bronchopleural fistula (BPF) following anatomic lung resection is a serious complication associated with high rates of mortality (25%-71%). Risk factors for BPF include surgical approach, neoadjuvant therapy, diabetes mellitus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As neoadjuvant treatment is increasingly being administered to patients with locally advanced lung cancer, and as more patients are being diagnosed with lung cancer at an older age-elderly patients present with a higher index of multiple comorbidities-the incidence of BPF among patients undergoing anatomic resection for lung cancer is expected to increase. In this manuscript, we detail risk factors and considerations for BPF and describe a stepwise approach to treat BPF following lobectomy for lung cancer.
