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: In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of lymph node dissection in secondary lung tumor metastasectomies. Methods: Between January 2001 and December 2015, a total of 201 patients (122 males, 79 females; mean age: of 41.4±19.2 years; range, 3 to 79 years) who had pulmonary metastasectomy due to colorectal carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and soft tissue - skeletal sarcomas were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features of the patients, overall survival, and complication rates according to the presence of lymph node dissection were evaluated. Results: The most common histopathological subtype was a sarcoma in 118 (58.7%) patients, followed by colorectal carcinoma in 63 (31.3%) patients, and renal cell carcinoma in 20 (10%) patients. A total of 88 (43.7%) patients underwent systematic lymph node dissection with pulmonary metastasectomy. The mean overall survival of patients with and without lymph node dissection were 49±5.9 (95% confidence interval 37.3-60.6) and 26±4.4 (95% confidence interval 17.2-34.7) months, respectively (p=0.003). The five-year survival rates in colorectal carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and sarcoma were 52%, 30%, and 23%, respectively (p=0.002). Locoregional recurrences occurred in 15 (35.7%) patients in the lymph node dissection group and in 23 (60.5%) patients in the non-lymph node dissection group (p=0.026). Lymph node dissection did not show a significant relationship regarding to postoperative complications (p=0.09). Conclusion: Lymph node dissection following pulmonary metastasectomy may improve the overall survival and reduce locoregional recurrence, without any increase in morbidity and mortality.
