Changes in pulmonary function in lung cancer patients after segmentectomy or lobectomy: a retrospective, non-intervention, observation study.
Article in European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesPulmonary segmentectomy (SE) became an increasingly popular method for resection of early-stage lung cancer. This study aims to compare the impact of single SE (SSE), multiple SE (MSE) and lobectomy (LE) on postoperative pulmonary function in patients with NSCLC.
methodsMedical records of a total of 1284 patients who underwent LE (n = 493), SSE (n = 558) and MSE (n = 233) at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from January 2013 to October, 2020 were retrospectively analysed. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed preoperatively and 12 months after surgery.
resultsSSE was associated with a significantly smaller decline in the PFT values compared to MSE and LE. There was a poor consistency between the observed and expected (O/E) loss of pulmonary function in all study groups (P < 0.05). Both LE and SE resulted in similar O/E ratios of all PFT parameters (P > 0.05).
conclusionsOverall loss of pulmonary function was much greater after LE than after both SSE and MSE. MSE was associated with higher postoperative pulmonary function decline compared to SSE but was still beneficial over LE. Both LE and SE groups had similar PFT loss per segment (P > 0.05).
