Postoperative physiotherapy interventions in hospitalized adults undergoing pulmonary resection surgery. A protocol for a scoping review.
Article in MethodsX, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patients undergoing lung resection surgery (LRS) may experience various postoperative complications, which can be prevented or managed through physiotherapy interventions. The current evidence concerning physiotherapy interventions for individuals undergoing LRS is inconsistent and disorganised. Our objective is to outline the methods we will employ to collect, describe, and analyse studies that have assessed the effects of physiotherapy interventions in the immediate postoperative period for hospitalized adults undergoing LRS. We will conduct our scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute. We will include primary studies that have enrolled hospitalized adults undergoing LRS where the effects, efficacy, effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of postoperative physiotherapy interventions has been evaluated. A systematic search of MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CENTRAL (Cochrane Library), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), LILACS (BVS), and PEDro will be carried out. Additionally, we will perform forward and backward citation searches. Data selection and extraction will be done in duplicate. Conflicts will be resolved by consensus or through a third reviewer. We will utilise the Word Frequency Analyser, The Polyglot Search Translator, Citationchaser, and Catchii tools to enhance the efficiency of our review. Outlining our strategies to conduct our review will help uphold scientific rigour and enable readers to identify any deviations from our plan.•We will conduct our scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute. We will include primary studies that have enrolled hospitalized adults undergoing LRS and evaluated postoperative physiotherapy interventions' effects, efficacy, effectiveness or cost-effectiveness.•To enhance the efficiency of our review, we will use artificial intelligence tools such as Word Frequency Analyser, The Polyglot Search Translator, Citationchaser, and Catchii.•Understanding applications of postoperative physiotherapy interventions in hospitalized adults undergoing LRS can aid in implementing treatment strategies. It will also highlight existing research gaps that require attention from primary studies.
