1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThrombus formation at the pulmonary vein transection site is more common in left upper lobectomy than other lobectomies. We report a case of dyspnea and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) findings of pulmonary vein thrombosis after left upper lobectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 68-year-old man with left lung cancer underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy under general anesthesia with thoracic epidural analgesia. He had no postoperative complications and was discharged home on the 5th day postoperatively. He visited the outpatient clinic at 8 days after surgery because of dyspnea and underwent contrast-enhanced CT, which revealed a thrombus at the resected edge of the left upper pulmonary vein. Anticoagulation therapy was started. Thereafter, the thrombus shrank, and the patient's dyspnea improved.

conclusionsLeft upper lobe resection is particularly associated with pulmonary venous thrombosis, and dyspnea due to pulmonary venous thrombus may develop late after surgery. Postoperative management methods such as anticoagulation and postoperative pain management should be reexamined.
