Risk factors for respiratory failure after tuberculosis-destroyed lung surgery and increased dyspnea score at 1-year follow-up.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Although pneumonectomy is an important surgical treatment for tuberculosis-destroyed lung (TDL), few studies have investigated long-term postoperative TDL prognosis. Here, risk factors were determined for postoperative secondary respiratory failure and modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC ≥1) at discharge and at 1-year post-surgical follow-up. Methods: A two-way cohort study was conducted of 116 patients admitted to our thoracic surgery department for surgical TDL treatment from January 2001 to June 2020. General clinical data were collected then patient postoperative mMRC scores were monitored for 1 year. Dyspnea-associated factors (mMRC ≥1) were identified then risk factors for postoperative respiratory failure and compromised long-term respiratory function were identified using multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis. Results: Of 116 patients, 27.6% (32/116) developed respiratory failure secondary to surgery. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative serum albumin of <30 g/L [adjusted odds ratios (aOR) 6.613, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.064-41.086] and intraoperative bleeding of >1,000 mL (aOR 6.876, 95% CI: 1.236-38.243) were risk factors for subsequent respiratory failure only in patients experiencing postoperative secondary respiratory failure. Sorting of patient mMRC dyspnea index scores into two groups (mMRC =0, mMRC ≥1) followed by logistic regression analysis revealed that risk factors for 1-year postoperative dyspnea included mMRC score ≥1 at discharge (aOR 14.446, 95% CI: 1.102-189.361) and postoperative respiratory failure occurrence (aOR 9.946, 95% CI: 1.063-93.034). Conclusions: TDL patient preoperative hypoalbuminemia and extensive intraoperative bleeding were risk factors for postoperative secondary respiratory failure. Postoperative secondary respiratory failure and high mMRC (≥1) at discharge were associated with reduced postoperative long-term recovery of respiratory function.
