Prediction of pulmonary function after major lung resection using lung perfusion scintigraphy with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography.
Article in Fujita medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivePrecise prediction of postoperative pulmonary function is extremely important for accurately evaluating the risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality after major surgery for lung cancer. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of a single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) method that we recently developed for predicting postoperative pulmonary function versus the accuracy of both the conventional simplified calculating (SC) method and the method using planar images of lung perfusion scintigraphy.
methodsThe relationship between the postoperative observed % values of the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
resultsThe relationship between the postoperative observed % values and %ppo values calculated by the three methods exhibited a strong correlation (Pearson r>0.8, two-tailed
conclusionThe accuracy of SPECT/CT for predicting postoperative pulmonary function is comparable with that of conventional methods in most cases, other than in some patients with diffusion impairment.
