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

purposePericardial fat is appropriate tissue to cover the bronchial anastomotic site because its harvesting is minimally invasive. We investigated the changes in pericardial fat tissue around the anastomotic site after pulmonary resection with tracheobronchoplasty.

methodsThe subjects of this study were 43 lung cancer patients who underwent pulmonary resection with tracheobronchoplasty. We measured the maximum cross-sectional area and average computed tomography (CT) values of the pedicle pericardial fat pad around the anastomotic site 1 week and then 6 months after the operation.

resultsThe average volume of the residual pedicle pericardial fat pad 6 months postoperatively was 61%. A body mass index (BMI) < 21.2 kg/m

conclusionsPreoperative nutritional conditions, reflected in high BMI and blood albumin levels, correlated with a high residual pedicle pericardial fat pad. Conversely, patients with pedicle flap shrinkage had significantly increased CT values, suggesting that the fat might have taken on another form such as scar tissue.
