Lung resection and new postoperative home oxygen requirement: a systematic review.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: While patients are assessed for their ability to tolerate surgery through physiologic evaluations such as pulmonary function tests, ventilation-perfusion scans, and exercising testing, some patients still require home oxygen therapy after pulmonary resection. It is not well understood what the associated risk factors are, how long patients need supplemental oxygen, and if this requirement is associated with worse long-term outcomes. Given these knowledge gaps, we sought to conduct a systematic review of pulmonary resections and new postoperative home oxygen requirement. Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed was conducted from inception to August 2023 for studies reporting new home oxygen requirement in adults after pulmonary resection. If all participants were already on home oxygen, if no patients required home oxygen after surgery, or full text was not available in English the study was excluded. Odds ratios from available studies were statistically combined using a meta-analytic approach into a forest plot, allowing for a more precise estimate of the effect size than any single study. Results: A total of 17 studies capturing 26,093 patients, 3,796 of whom were discharged on home oxygen, were included in the review. The majority of studies focused on patients undergoing resection for malignant etiologies. Female sex, White race, obesity, and non-adenocarcinoma histology were most commonly found to be associated with increased risk for home oxygen. Tobacco use and pulmonary function studies [e.g., forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV Conclusions: Requiring home oxygen after surgery may be associated with worse outcomes. Additional studies on the factors associated with requiring postoperative home oxygen are needed. This would allow for more accurate preoperative counseling as well as target modifiable risk factors for optimization.
