Early ambulation and postoperative recovery of patients with lung cancer under thoracoscopic surgery-an observational study.
Observational study in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
backgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery guidelines in China recommend early ambulation within 24 h after surgery. The aims of this audit were to investigate the early ambulation of patients with lung cancer under thoracoscopic surgery, and to explore the influence of different ambulation time on postoperative rehabilitation of patients.
methodsUsing observational study method, observe and record of 226 cases under the thoracoscope surgery early ambulation of patients with lung cancer. Data collected included postoperative bowel movements, chest tube extubation time, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain and the incidence of postoperative complications.
resultsThe time of first ambulation was (34.18 ± 17.18) h, the duration was (8.26 ± 4.62) min, and the distance was (54.94 ± 46.06) m. The time of first postoperative defecation, the time of chest tube extubation and the length of hospital stay were significantly shortened in patients who ambulate within 24 h, and the pain score on the third day after surgery was decreased, and the incidence of postoperative complications was reduced, with statistical significance (P < 0.05).
conclusionEarly ambulation within 24 h after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer patients can promote the recovery of intestinal function, early removal of chest tube, shorten the length of hospital stay, relieve pain, reduce the incidence of complications, and facilitate the rapid recovery of patients.
