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

Background: Limited information is available about the impact of cardiovascular comorbidities (CVC) on the postoperative course of patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy (PM). In this study, we aim to compare the postoperative morbidity, mortality, and the long-term survival of patients with and without CVC undergoing PM. Methods: A retrospective monocentric study was conducted including 760 patients who underwent PM in curative intention. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the presence of CVC. Results: The data from 164 patients with CVC (21.6%) and 596 patients without CVC (78.4%) were investigated. In both groups, zero in-hospital-mortality and limited 30-day mortality was detected. Postoperative complications occurred more often in patients with CVC (N=47, 28.7% Conclusions: Resection of pulmonary metastases can be performed safely in selected patients with stable CVC. The presence of CVC in patients undergoing PM is associated with reduced overall survival compared to patients without CVC in the long term follow up. However, a prolonged 5-year survival rate of 68% could be achieved.
