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: Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia previously linked to systemic inflammation, which has been correlated with leukocyte and prealbumin levels. We sought to identify predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 709 consecutive patients who underwent robotic-assisted lobectomy by one surgeon over 10.7 years. We compared demographics, preoperative comorbidities, perioperative leukocyte, prealbumin levels, complications, chest tube (CT) duration, and hospital length of stay (LOS) using Student's Results: Preoperative atrial fibrillation or chronic steroid or immunosuppressant use excluded 131 patients, and 578 remaining patients were classified as POAF ( Conclusions: New-onset POAF patients had a substantial perioperative inflammatory burden characterized by preoperative hypertension, postoperative leukocytosis, and decreased prealbumin and had prolonged hospital LOS compared with patients without POAF. Postoperative leukocyte and prealbumin levels should be monitored, as these pro-inflammatory markers may forecast POAF.
