Restrictive Ventilatory Impairment as a Poor Prognostic Factor in Patients Who Undergo Surgical Resection for Metachronous Second Primary Lung Cancer.

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
purposeTo evaluate the prognostic impact of restrictive ventilatory impairment in patients who undergo pulmonary resection of metachronous second primary lung cancer.
methodsThe clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of 70 patients with metachronous second primary lung cancer were analyzed.
resultsThe surgical procedures consisted of wedge resection in 40 patients, segmentectomy in 17, lobectomy in 12, and completion pneumonectomy in one. Patients who underwent ipsilateral pulmonary resection developed more perioperative complications (p = 0.0339). Three-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 78.2% and 69.2%, respectively. In univariate analysis, sex, restrictive ventilatory impairment, and histology of second primary lung cancer were significantly poor prognostic factors (all p <0.05). Multivariate analysis identified restrictive ventilatory impairment to be an independent predictor of a poor prognosis (p = 0.0193). In the 22 patients who died, the cause of death was lung cancer in 11 and other diseases, including pneumonia and respiratory failure, in 11. Death from another disease was significantly more common in patients with restrictive ventilatory impairment (p = 0.0216).
conclusionRestrictive ventilatory impairment was an independent predictor of a poor prognosis in patients with a second primary lung cancer. Restrictive ventilatory impairment as a result of repeated thoracic surgery may increase the likelihood of death from another disease.
