Evaluation of the risk factors for postoperative pectus excavatum and scoliosis in cystic lung disease.

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
purposeTo analyze the frequency and predictive factors of the development of postoperative pectus excavatum and scoliosis in children who underwent surgery for cystic lung disease.
methodsThis study examined patients who underwent surgery for cystic lung disease (open and thoracoscopic) between July 2000 and December 2018 with a > 3-year follow-up period. Lesion size, surgical outcomes, and subsequent musculoskeletal complications were compared between the open surgery and thoracoscopic surgery groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictive factors.
resultsOverall, 90 patients (19 and 71 patients in the open and thoracoscopic groups, respectively) were included in this study. There was no significant difference in the incidence of pectus excavatum or scoliosis between open and thoracoscopic surgery; however, Haller's index and Cobb angle were significantly higher in the open surgery group. In the univariate analysis, neonatal surgery and lesion size were substantial predictors of musculoskeletal malformations.
conclusionPostoperative musculoskeletal deformities emerge after surgical treatment for cystic lung disease, with thoracoscopic surgery showing advantages in selected dimensions. Neonatal surgery and lesion size are pivotal prognostic factors for musculoskeletal complications. Further corroborative multicenter studies are imperative to substantiate these findings and foster enhanced patient outcomes.
