Surgical treatment outcomes and risk factors for post-TB lung disease.
Article in IJTLD open, 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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of surgical treatment for post-TB lung disease (PTLD) and to analyse its risk factors.
methodsData were collected from 268 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for TB in Xi'an Chest Hospital, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, between January 2014 and December 2023. The efficacy and safety of the three groups were compared, and the TB group was used as the control group to analyse the risk factors of PTLD.
resultsThe results indicated the three groups in intraoperative blood loss, post-operative drainage volume, post-operative complications, and post-operative hospital stay also varied significantly among the three groups (all
conclusionThe study confirms that surgery for PTLD is safe and efficacious. Patients with advanced age, an extended duration of pre-operative anti-TB therapy, comorbid diabetes mellitus and pre-operative haemoptysis should maintain vigilance regarding the potential development of PTLD.
