1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We investigated the clinical therapeutic effects and prognosis of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in mediastinal lymph node dissection of lung carcinoma. A total of 312 patients were divided into high-risk and conventional risk groups according to the severity of the disease. High-risk group (n=137) received thoracoscope-guided anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy and systematic lymph node dissection as well as conventional risk group (n=175) received thoracoscope-guided pulmonary lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection. The results revealed that there are significant differences in age, gender, location, lymph node resection methods, and histological classification in the two groups (P<0.05). Moreover, in comparison with the high-risk group, T stage was higher in the conventional group and showed significant statistical significance (P<0.01). The analysis of independent risk factors of the above differences showed that T staging and histological classification showed high-risk coefficients for lymph node dissection. The risk coefficient was increased with patients' age. The 5-year survival rate, disease-free survival, and postoperative recurrence rate of the patients in the two groups all indicated no obvious statistical differences. Consequently, thoracoscope-guided lymph node dissection could enhance the detection rate of lymph node metastasis. For the adenocarcinoma (AD) patients with T staging greater than T1, lymph node dissection could provide more accurate pathological staging. Anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy combined with systematic lymph node dissection should be applied in the treatment of elderly, high-risk, and advanced stage (prothrombin time (PT) state >2 cm, ≤3 cm) patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Taken together,thoracoscope-guided lymph node dissection could improve the detection rate of lymph node metastasis. In this case, the complete resection of lesions could be ensured. Besides, normal pulmonary tissues were preserved to the maximum extent with minimal trauma, safety, fast postoperative recovery, and definite long-term therapeutic effects.
