Efficacy and safety of thoracoscopic resection for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. 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
objectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of thoracoscopic resection for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
methodsA total of 110 patients with early-stage NSCLC admitted to Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between August 2017 and December 2019 were enrolled and retrospectively analysed. Among them, 60 patients receiving thoracoscopic resection for lung cancer (LC) were assigned to the research group (Res group) and another 50 patients treated with routine open radical resection for LC were included in the control group (Con group). The following items of the two groups were evaluated and compared: treatment efficacy, operation indexes, VAS score, lung function, lung capacity, complications, 2-year tumour-free survival rate, 2-year survival rate, and quality of life (QoL).
resultsThe Res group showed significantly better efficacy, and lower incidence of complications and VAS score than the Con group. In addition, patients in the Res group experienced less intraoperative blood loss, earlier anal exhaust, shorter hospital stay and indwelling time of drainage tube as well as less drainage volume. Furthermore, better recovery in pulmonary function and lung capacity, and significantly higher 2-year tumour-free survival rate, 2-year survival rate as well as postoperative QoL were noted in the Res group compared with the Con group.
conclusionThoracoscopic resection for LC is effective in the treatment of patients with early-stage NSCLC. It can substantially shorten the hospital stay and indwelling time of drainage tube and reduce drainage volume and blood loss, with high safety.
