Long-term follow up and comparison between conservative and interventional therapy in postoperative bronchopleural fistula-a cohort study.
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 9 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: Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a relatively rare postoperative complication with high mortality. The management is tough and controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the short and long-term outcomes between the conservative and the interventional therapy in postoperative BPF. We also concluded our own strategy and experience of treatment in postoperative BPF. Methods: Postoperative BPF patients with malignancies, aged from 18 to 80 years old who had undergone thoracic surgery between June 2011 and June 2020, were included in this study and followed up from 20 months to 10 years. They were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Results: Ninety-two BPF patients were included in this study, 39 of whom underwent interventional treatment. Significant differences were found in the 28-day and the 90-day survival rates between the conservative and the interventional therapy (P=0.001, 43.40% Conclusions: Postoperative BPF is notorious for its high mortality. Surgical and bronchoscopic interventions are recommendable in postoperative BPF as they guarantee better short and long-term outcomes compared with the conservative therapy.
