Thoracic surgery in the Netherlands.
Review 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 1 paper.
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
The purpose of this article, part of the Thoracic Surgery Worldwide series, is to provide a descriptive review of how thoracic surgery is organized in the Netherlands. General information is provided on the Dutch healthcare system, as well as on how Dutch thoracic surgeons are organized and trained. Additionally, this study provides information on our national quality surveillance system, an overview of the most common thoracic surgeries performed in our country, and details of academic research conducted by Dutch medical specialists. Furthermore, we discuss current challenges and future perspectives. In the Netherlands general thoracic surgical procedures are performed by approximately 110 general thoracic surgeons and 25 of the 135 cardiothoracic surgeons. Dutch thoracic surgeons provide minimally invasive lung surgery, chest wall surgery, thymic and mediastinal surgery, and surgical diagnosis and treatment of pleural disorders. Some recently published data on hospital mortality and postoperative adverse events of thoracic surgeries are reported. Furthermore, the structure of the thoracic surgical education and training program is discussed, highlighting the particular structure of two educational programs for thoracic surgery via a general thoracic and cardiothoracic surgery program. To assure high-quality surgical care, the Netherlands has a well-structured national quality surveillance system, involving frequent site visits and mandatory participation in the national lung cancer surgery registry for all hospitals. In terms of academic research, the Netherlands ranked 14th worldwide on number of clinical trials conducted across all medical disciplines in 2021. Furthermore, several thoracic-related (inter-)national multicenter randomized trials which are currently performed and initiated by Dutch hospital research groups are mentioned. Finally, future challenges and advances of Dutch thoracic surgery are addressed, including the implementation of lung cancer screening, imbalanced labor market, and centralization of care.
