Preoperative detection of pleural adhesions using dynamic chest radiography: prospective analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: To plan a surgical approach and predict the operative time or bleeding volume, it is important to determine the presence of pleural adhesions before surgery. Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) is a new modality that can dynamically capture X-rays, and we assessed the utility of DCR for detecting pleural adhesions preoperatively. Methods: The subjects of this study were those who underwent DCR before surgery from January 2020 to May 2022. The preoperative evaluation was performed by three imaging analysis modes, and pleural adhesion was defined as the that spreading to more than 20% of the thoracic cavity and/or taking more than 5 minutes to dissect. Results: Of the 120 total patients, DCR was performed properly for 119 (99.2%). Accurate preoperative evaluations of pleural adhesions were confirmed in 101 patients (84.9%), with a sensitivity of 64.5%, specificity of 91.0%, positive predictive value of 74.1%, and negative predictive value of 88.0%. Conclusions: DCR was very easy to perform in all preoperative patients with all manner of thoracic disease. We demonstrated the utility of DCR, showing its high specificity and negative predictive value. DCR has the potential to become a common preoperative examination for detecting pleural adhesions with further improvements in software programs.
