Surgery and subsequent risk of non-small cell lung cancer recurrence: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
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 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
backgroundSurgery is the main treatment for stage I, II, and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the relationship between surgery and NSCLC recurrence is unclear. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to determine whether surgery is associated with an increased risk of NSCLC recurrence.
methodsWe used the electronic databases in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and MEDLINE to carry out a systematic literature search before December 1st, 2017. All studies on the association between surgery and subsequent risk of NSCLC recurrence were included and then analyzed using RevMan 5.3.
resultsEleven studies were included in the meta-analysis involving 3,190 patients. The relationship between surgery and NSCLC recurrence was evaluated by pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The results suggested that surgery does not increase the risk of NSCLC recurrence (OR =0.42, 95% CI, 0.25-0.72, P=0.001).
conclusionsOur results showed that surgery decreased the risk of NSCLC recurrence in stage I-IV.
