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

Background: Outcomes of lung cancer patients traveling greater distances for surgical oncology care are not well-described. We investigated the effects of increased travel burden after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL) for lung cancer. Methods: Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of 711 consecutive patients who underwent RAPL from September 2010 to March 2022 were compared, stratified by primary residential ZIP code <160 km or ≥160 km from the cancer center. Results: Of 711 study patients, 515 (72.4%) lived within 160 km and 196 (27.6%) lived ≥160 km away. There were no differences in Charlson Comorbidity Index scores or tumor characteristics. Those traveling ≥160 km experienced more unfavorable perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications, and had worse median survival time by 1.68 years, but this survival difference did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: With the growing centralization of cancer care, travel burden may emerge as a predictor of surgical oncology outcomes.
