Predicting 1-year non-cancer-related adverse events after lung resection.

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
objectivesAssessing the risk for non-cancer-related outcomes following lung cancer surgery is crucial for high-risk patients. This study examined non-cancer-related adverse events within 1 year after lung resection, emphasizing the role of resected lung volume and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 460 patients who underwent anatomical lung resection for malignant lung tumours. We assessed perioperative factors, such as the number of resected subsegments and POAF, as potential predictors of 1-year non-cancer-related adverse events. Additionally, we validated a previously published nomogram for predicting POAF.
resultsOne-year non-cancer-related adverse events occurred in 20% of patients. Multivariable analysis identified higher age, lower percentage-predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second, greater number of resected subsegments and POAF as independent predictors of these adverse events. The incidence of POAF was 8.5%, with higher age, history of atrial fibrillation, and open thoracotomy as independent predictors. A temporal link between POAF and other severe postoperative complications was observed, as 71% of POAF cases preceded other complications. The nomogram's predicted risk for POAF was associated well with the actual incidence.
conclusionsResected lung volume and POAF are statistically significant factors associated with non-cancer-related outcomes after lung resection. Minimizing resected lung volume when oncologically and technically feasible, along with identifying patients at risk for POAF, may contribute to improved postoperative outcomes. Our results have implications for risk stratification and preoperative decision-making in lung cancer surgery.
