What are the risk factors for postoperative home oxygen therapy in patients with lung cancer?
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 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
Background: Home oxygen therapy (HOT) is used to treat chronic respiratory diseases and is sometimes required in patients with lung cancer after radical surgery. We aimed to identify the risk factors for postoperative home-based oxygen therapy in patients with lung cancer. Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for primary lung cancer at Chiba University Hospital between January 2019 and March 2021 were included. Patients who did not undergo complete resection, died in hospital after surgery, or used oxygen therapy preoperatively were excluded. Eligible patients were divided into HOT and non-HOT groups. They were retrospectively analyzed for risk factors for postoperative HOT using medical records in a multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 410 patients were included in this study, 24 (5.9%) of whom required HOT after surgery. The HOT group comprised significantly more men, heavy smokers, and patients with pulmonary comorbidities, low percent forced expiratory volume, percent forced vital capacity, predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and postoperative pulmonary complications on univariate analysis. In a multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for postoperative HOT were pulmonary comorbidities [odds ratio (OR): 5.94; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.64-21.5; P=0.002) and postoperative pulmonary complications (OR: 5.39; 95% CI: 2.14-13.5; P<0.001). The postoperative HOT application rate was calculated according to a formula developed for this purpose. Conclusions: Comorbid pulmonary diseases and postoperative pulmonary complications were significantly associated with postoperative HOT in patients with lung cancer.
