Outcomes and experience of anatomical partial lobectomy.
Article in The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
objectiveThe use of limited anatomic resection for early-stage lung cancer is widely practiced worldwide. However, most studies have focused on standard segmentectomy or subsegmentectomy, and data on the short-term outcomes after anatomic sublobar resection in China are lacking.
methodsIn 2014, the use of anatomic partial lobectomy (APL), which is defined as lesion-centered resection of anatomical sublobular parts, was proposed by the National Cancer Center in China. We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients who underwent APL between November 2013 and October 2019 from our database, and the operative techniques and short-term outcomes were analyzed.
resultsA total of 3336 patients with a median age of 56 years underwent APL during the study period. Benign lesions were present in 8.5% of all patients and decreased across time. The mean total operation time was 127.3 minutes, the mean overall number of nodal sampling/dissections was 13, and the mean number of stations sampled was 4. Postoperative complications (grade ≥2) developed in 359 patients (10.8%), and no mortality occurred in the 30 days after surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that smoking, surgeon's early experience, thoracotomy or unplanned conversion to thoracotomy, and complex cases were risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative complications.
conclusionsDespite the increasing proportion of complex cases treated with APL, the incidence of postoperative complications decreased as our center accumulated surgical experience. APL procedures are safe and feasible when conducted in a specialized center.
