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

backgroundThe Modified Inflation-Deflation Method (MIDM) is widely used in China in pulmonary segmentectomies. We optimized the procedure, which was named as Blood Flow Blocking Method (BFBM), also known as "No-Waiting Segmentectomy". This method has produced commendable clinical outcomes in segmentectomies. The aim of this research is to confirm whether the intersegmental planes formed by MIDM and BFBM techniques during segmentectomies have high degree of concordance.

methodsWe utilized the Open Sequential Test design in our study. Using both MIDM and BFBM techniques, intersegmental planes were created in the same patient, one after the other. The degree of alignment between the planes formed by the two techniques was assessed by two experienced chief surgeons. Based on the results obtained in each case, a test line was plotted until it intersected the effective or ineffective line.

resultsIn every case studied, the intersegmental planes created by the MIDM and BFBM displayed high congruity. The test line crossed the effective line during the 12th case. When comparing the time taken to form the intersegmental plane using either MIDM or BFBM technique, no significant difference was observed. However, the application of the BFBM technique resulted in an average time savings of 13.8 min.

conclusionsIn segmentectomies, the intersegmental planes formed by MIDM and BFBM techniques exhibit high concordance. However, given that BFBM affords a time-saving advantage, we propose that BFBM could potentially replace MIDM in performing lung segmentectomies.
