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
objectiveSurgical resection remains the gold standard treatment for bronchiectasis in patients who present with hemoptysis or suppuration, as well as in those who do not respond to clinical treatment. We sought to investigate the efficacy of sublobar resection (segmentectomy) and compare it with that of lobar resection (lobectomy) in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
methodsPatients undergoing lobectomy or segmentectomy between 2019 and 2023 were included in the study. We analyzed intraoperative complications and postoperative outcomes, including length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, and disease recurrence.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the lobectomy and segmentectomy groups regarding the occurrence of intraoperative complications such as bleeding > 1000 ml, cardiogenic shock, and ventilatory instability (p > 0.999). However, the frequency of complications was significantly lower in the segmentectomy group than in the lobectomy group (p = 0.016). Hospital stays were longer in the lobectomy group than in the segmentectomy group (16 days vs. 5 days; p = 0.027), as were ICU stays (7 days vs. 1 day; p = 0.006). There was no significant difference between the lobectomy and segmentectomy groups regarding the recurrence rate (p = 0.541).
conclusionsEarly identification of bronchiectasis patients who are candidates for surgical resection is essential because those who are identified as such early on are candidates for parenchyma-sparing resections, which are similar to lobar resections in terms of disease control and lead to shorter hospital stays and better postoperative outcomes.
