Prognostic risk factors for respiratory failure after esophagectomy.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEsophagectomy is a high-risk surgical procedure with significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. Respiratory failure is one of the most common complications after esophageal cancer surgery. The purpose of this study was to explore risk factors that affect the recovery of respiratory failure in this kind of patients.
methodsTotally 2,360 patients underwent esophagectomies with cervical anastomosis or intrathoracic anastomosis in our center from January 2012 to December 2017. Among them, 130 patients with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation were included in the study. The Spearman's rank correlation test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed to identify the influential factors for the duration of mechanical ventilation.
resultsMost patients (81.5%) in this study recovered in the first two weeks of mechanical ventilation, the average duration of mechanical ventilation was 10.1 days. Statistical analysis indicated that lung function test parameters such as FEV
conclusionsAbnormally increased FEV
