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: We hypothesize that previous COVID-19 infection could be associated with postoperative complications (POCs) and outcomes of thoracic surgery for lung cancer. It is unknown whether the respiratory damage caused by COVID-19 infection is permanent. In addition, there is a lack of studies investigating POCs and prior COVID-19 infection in thoracic surgery. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent resections for lung cancer between May 2020 and July 2022. Variables relevant to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database were collected, as well as COVID-19 status. The primary outcome was postoperative complications. Results: A total of 361 patients underwent a resection for lung cancer. Patients with a prior COVID-19 infection (n = 21) had significantly more POCs than patients without a history of COVID-19 infection (n = 340, Conclusions: After a COVID-19 infection, patients undergoing lung cancer resections were at an increased risk of POCs. This suggests that a previous COVID-19 infection should be considered as a potential risk factor for complications after lung cancer resections.
