Impact of preoperative brain natriuretic peptide level for predicting postoperative respiratory complications.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Predicting respiratory complications after pulmonary surgery is important for thoracic surgeons. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between preoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and postoperative respiratory complications (PRC). Methods: A total of 383 patients with primary or metastatic lung cancer who underwent surgical resection were included in this retrospective study. The cut-off value of elevated BNP was set as 35 pg/mL, and its relationship with PRCs was analyzed. Risk factors for PRCs were determined using a logistic regression model. Results: Among the patients, 66 (17%) experienced PRCs: 24% Conclusions: Preoperative BNP levels ≥35 pg/mL were associated with an increased risk for PRCs, suggesting its potential utility for identifying patients with elevated risk for PRCs before pulmonary surgery.
