Impact of thoracoscopic segmental lung resection versus wedge on early post-operative recovery and short-term prognosis in elderly patients with early non-small cell lung cancer: A retrospective non-randomised controlled cohort study.

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
introductionThe post-operative rehabilitation and prognostic indexes of thoracoscopic segmental resection and wedge resection in the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were retrospectively analysed. The objective of this study was to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of early-stage NSCLC in the elderly. PATIENTS AND
methodsOne hundred and twenty elderly patients diagnosed with early-stage NSCLC in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected as study subjects. The patients were divided into the thoracoscopic segmental lung resection group and the thoracoscopic wedge resection group. Various clinical data were compared between the two groups of patients.
resultsIn the thoracoscopic wedge resection group, operation time, anaesthesia time, intraoperative blood loss, post-operative chest tube volume, chest tube indwelling time and hospital stay were significantly higher compared to the thoracoscopic segmental lung resection group. Patients undergoing segmental resection also had higher Visual Analogue Scale scores and serum indices. In addition, the mini-mental state examination scores were lower in the segmental resection group compared to the wedge resection group.
conclusionsThoracoscopic segmental resection and thoracoscopic wedge resection were both safe and feasible for the treatment of NSCLC. However, thoracoscopic segmental resection had the advantage of effectively reducing the amount of intraoperative bleeding, shortening the operation time and having less impact on lung function and physical function. This was conducive to the patient's faster recovery after surgery.
