Effect of pulmonary rehabilitation training on postoperative recovery in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic partial pulmonary resection: a meta-analysis.
Review in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo systematically analyze the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on postoperative recovery of lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic partial pulmonary resection.
methodsThis study has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024574965). A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL for literature on the effects of PR on postoperative rehabilitation in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic partial pulmonary resection, up to May 2024. Studies meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the meta-analysis. Valid data were extracted, and the integrated analysis was performed using RevMan5.3 and Stata 12.0 software.
resultsA total of 10 relevant studies, involving 677 subjects, were included. Of these, 341 patients were in the experimental group, and 336 were in the control group. The meta-analysis showed that PR significantly improved the forced expiratory volume in the first second after surgery (FEV1) [
conclusionPR improves lung function and exercise tolerance, reduces postoperative complications, and shortens postoperative hospital stays in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic partial pulmonary resection. However, its effect on reducing negative mood remains unclear. Due to the limitations in the number and quality of included studies, further high-quality studies are needed to validate these findings.
