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

backgroundAn increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) with the popularization of lung cancer screening programs. However, a strategy for accurate location and suitable surgery therapy is still lacking. The present study aimed to explore the accuracy and feasibility of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided thoracoscopic sublobectomy for stage IA SMPLC.

methodsPatients with SMPLC who underwent ENB-guided sublobectomy from January 2020 to June 2022 were enrolled in this study. The analysis of localization accuracy of ENB and surgical outcome was conducted.

resultsOverall, 138 patients with 353 malignant nodules were enrolled. The tumor size was 0.7 cm (range from 0.5 to 1.1 cm). ENB localization was performed on 162 nodules, and a customized scoring system was developed to evaluate localization accuracy. The success rate of localization was 98.3% (178/181). Notably, localization accuracy was positively correlated with bronchial signs (p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with the distance from the nodule to the pleura (p = 0.02). All nodules were completely resected. Operation time, drainage volume on the third postoperative day, and catheter time were significantly correlated with the resected lesion numbers (p = 0.009, p = 0.004, and p = 0.01, respectively).

conclusionsENB-guided uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic sublobectomy provides accurate preoperative localization and avoids unnecessary lung resection of patients with stage IA SMPLC. However, complete resection of multilocation nodules (more than four lesions) increases the risk of postoperative complications. A new combined treatment strategy for SMPLC should be explored.
