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
purposeWe examined whether preoperative assessment of percentage of low attenuation area (LAA%) on the non-resected side can predict postoperative respiratory complications (PRC) after lobectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a historical cohort study of 217 smokers (175 males and 42 females) who underwent lobectomy for primary lung cancer at our hospital between January 2014 and March 2021. First, the relationship between LAA% and respiratory function parameters (RFPs) calculated for both the bilateral and non-resected sides was used to estimate the most effective patient group. Next, multivariate analyses of the relationship between LAA% of the non-resected side and PRC were performed using logistic regression analysis after adjusting for basic patient attributes and respiratory function.
resultsA correlation was found between LAA% and RFP in smoking males. Multivariate analysis showed a strong relationship between model 3, adjusted for basic patient attributes and lung function factors, and PRC (odds ratio, 2.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-5.63).
conclusionLAA% of the non-resected side suggested that it may be able to predict the occurrence of PRC after lung cancer lobectomy.
