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

This study aimed to investigate the safety and effect of omitting chest tubes after thoracoscopic lobectomy in children with congenital lung malformation. A multicenter retrospective study was performed with 632 thoracoscopic lobectomy CLM patients in four hospitals between 2014.1 and 2023.1, which were divided into non-chest tube (NCT)group and chest tube (CT)group. Baseline data, operation and follow-up outcomes were compared. In total, 312 patients were included in the NCT group, and 320 in the CT group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups. The FLACC scale score in the NCT group was less than the CT group (2.7 ± 0.43 vs. 5.8 ± 0.26 p = 0.027). The median length of postoperative hospital stay in the CT group was significantly longer than the NCT group (5 d vs.3 d, p = 0.045). Eight (2.5%) patients developed chest tube related infections in the CT group(p = 0.004). Six patients developed atelectasis in the NCT group, which was significantly less than the 18 patients in the CT group(p = 0.014). No chest tube placement in selected CLM pediatric patients may be safe and avoid chest tube-related complications, which may also contribute to a rapid recovery.
