Optimal surgery for resectable malignant pleural mesothelioma in the setting of multimodality treatment.
Review in Surgery today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The surgical treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) involves procedures to achieve macroscopic complete resection, depending on the patient's condition. We reviewed the evolution of surgical approaches for resectable MPM. Since surgery is no more than a single step in the set of processes in multimodality treatment (MMT), we concluded that these procedures should give precedence to lung preservation and minimize resection whenever possible. Postoperative quality of life must be prioritized when the patient can receive appropriate adjuvant therapy.
