Analysis of factors affecting intraoperative conversion from thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer to thoracotomy and intraoperative management experience.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Objective: To explore the factors affecting the intraoperative conversion of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to thoracotomy in patients with lung cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 80 patients with lung cancer in The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients who were treated with VATS alone were included into thoracoscopy group (n= 40), and those who were intraoperatively converted from VATS to thoracotomy were included into conversion group (n= 40). The medical record data were collected, the influencing factors of intraoperative conversion from VATS to thoracotomy were analyzed, and the surgical indexes and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: Multivariate regression model showed that tumor in the upper lobe, central lung cancer, history of pulmonary tuberculosis, pleural adhesion ≥ Grade-4 and maximum tumor diameter ≥ 35 mm were risk factors for patients with lung cancer undergoing conversion from VATS to thoracotomy ( Conclusion: Conversion from VATS to thoracotomy may increase the risk of complications in patients with lung cancer. Tumor in the upper lobe, central lung cancer, history of pulmonary tuberculosis, high degree of pleural adhesion and large tumor diameter are risk factors for conversion from VATS to thoracotomy.
