Clinical outcome and risk factors for subcutaneous emphysema in patients with lung cancer after video-assisted thorascopic surgery.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background and purpose: With the clinical application of minimally invasive surgery and concept of enhanced recovery after surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications in lung cancer patients has been significantly reduced. However, postoperative subcutaneous emphysema (SE) becomes the main factor affecting the early discharge of patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical outcome and risk factors for postoperative SE in lung cancer patients. Methods: The clinical data of 414 lung cancer patients who were admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from September 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively collected. The incidence, severity and treatment of patients who had SE, surgery approach, application of drainage tube and clinical information were analyzed. Results: The incidence rate of postoperative SE in patients with lung cancer was 33.09% (137/414) and mild cases accounted for the vast majority (30.19%, 125/414). Multivariate analysis indicated that male [odds ratio (OR) = 2.247, Conclusion: Postoperative SE in patients with minimally invasive lung cancer is mainly mild, and conservative treatment is appropriate for most cases.
