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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for acute exacerbation (AE) of interstitial lung disease (ILD) following lung cancer resection.

methodsWe performed a literature screening on the databases including PubMed, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE® and the Web of Science for related studies published up to January 2021. Eligible studies were included and data on risk factors related to postoperative AE were extracted. All analyses were performed with random-effect model.

resultsA total of 12 studies of 2655 lung cancer patients with ILD were included in this article. The meta-analysis indicated that male [odds ratios (ORs) = 1.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-3.11, P = 0.041], usually interstitial pneumonia pattern on CT (OR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.06-2.17, P = 0.021), Krebs von den Lungen-6 [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.06-0.94, P = 0.027], white blood cell (SMD = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.12-0.93, P = 0.010), lactate dehydrogenase (SMD = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.04-0.90, P = 0.032), partial pressure of oxygen (weighted mean difference = -3.09, 95% CI: -5.99 to -0.19, P = 0.037), surgery procedure (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.42-3.77, P < 0.001) and operation time (weighted mean difference = 28.26, 95% CI: 1.13-55.39, P = 0.041) were risk factors for AE of ILD following lung cancer resection.

conclusionsWe found that males, usually interstitial pneumonia pattern on CT, higher levels of Krebs von den Lungen-6, lactate dehydrogenase, white blood cell, lower partial pressure of oxygen, greater scope of operation and longer operation time were risk factors for AE of ILD following lung cancer resection. Patients with these risk factors should be more prudently selected for surgical treatment and be monitored more carefully after surgery.
