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

objectiveThis study aimed to construct a nomogram to quantitatively predict pneumonectomy complication risks for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

methodsData from 1052 NSCLC patients who underwent pneumonectomy were retrospectively retrieved from the databases of three thoracic centers. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate postoperative morbidity predictors. Clinical parameters and operative features were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses, and a nomogram to predict the risk of postoperative complications was constructed using bootstrap resampling. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to estimate the discrimination power for the nomogram.

resultsA total of 212 patients (20.2%) had major complications. After regression analysis, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, male sex, and right-sided pneumonectomy were identified and entered into the nomogram. The nomogram showed a robust discrimination, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.753 (95% confidence interval 0.604-0.818). The calibration curves for the probability of postoperative complications showed optimal agreement between the nomogram and the actual probability.

conclusionsBased on preoperative data, we developed a nomogram for predicting complication risks after pneumonectomy. This model may be helpful for thoracic surgeons in selecting appropriate patients for adopting prophylactic measures after surgery.
