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

Lung cancer, which accounted for 1.8 million fatalities in 2020, necessitates the investigation of optimal surgical approaches for early-stage cases. Although lobectomy has long been associated with successful results, the growing interest in segmentectomy as an alternative procedure warrants further examination. The primary objective of this study was to compare segmentectomy with lobectomy as a viable treatment option for early-stage lung cancer. Our systematic review of NSCLC studies comparing lobectomy to segmentectomy followed the PRISMA guidelines and used a random-effects model. We extracted the patient characteristics, outcomes (overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence), and postoperative complications. Statistical analyses included hazard ratios, risk ratios, sensitivity assessments, and bias evaluations, all of which were performed using a random-effects model to account for heterogeneity among studies. Twelve studies involving 6049 patients revealed that segmentectomy and lobectomy demonstrated comparable overall survival (OS), with an HR of 0.99 (95% CI 0.81-1.21,
