Complete Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery and Traditional Open Surgery for Elderly Patients With NSCLC.

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
Objective: To observe the efficacy of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (CVATS) and traditional open surgery (TOS) in the treatment of elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their influence on cardiopulmonary function. Methods: A total of 120 elderly patients with primary NSCLC who were treated surgically in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected and divided into the study group and the control group according to the different surgical procedures, 60 patients in each group. CVATS was used in the observation group and TOS in the control group. The surgical indexes and cardiopulmonary function indexes were observed and compared between the two groups. The serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and visual analog scale's (VAS) score of the patients at different time points were detected. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared between the two groups. Results: The perioperative indexes such as operation time were significantly different between the two groups ( Conclusion: CVATS is effective in the treatment of NSCLC. Compared with TOS therapy, CVATS has less damage to cardiopulmonary function and fewer complications, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of elderly patients. It is a safe and reliable scheme for the treatment of elderly patients with NSCLC.
