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
Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain and functional impairment using Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) in patients undergoing surgery for malignancy. Methods: Between September 2020 and May 2022, a total of 94 patients (60 males, 34 females; mean age 59.5±12.2 years; range, 32 to 84 years) who underwent surgery for lung cancer were prospectively analyzed. The patients were evaluated using the BPI preoperatively and on postoperative Days 0, 3, and 30. The preoperative emotional impacts of patient variables and the influence of surgical management on postoperative pain were examined. Results: Females experienced more preoperative emotional distress and insomnia (p=0.046, p=0.033, respectively). Patients diagnosed with cancer and had a history of surgery or thoracotomy demonstrated higher preoperative emotional distress (p=0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively). Postoperatively, patients who underwent thoracotomy reported greater pain with higher functional impairment compared to the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery group (p=0.002, p=0.018, respectively). Patients whose drains were completely removed by the postoperative Day 3 had reduced discomfort and improved ability to perform breathing exercise (p=0.005, p=0.045, respectively). Thoracotomy and the placement of double drains were identified as independent factors contributing to difficulties in performing breathing exercises and coughing on Day 30 (p<0.05 for all). There was no significant difference in the pain scores and affected functions between the patients with a thoracotomy incision size of <10 cm and ≥10 cm (p=0.200, p=0.113, respectively). Conclusion: Our study results indicate that a preference for minimal invasive procedures, the use of a single thoracic drain, and the prompt removal of the drain minimize pain and functional impairment. Women, patients with a preoperative diagnosis of malignancy requiring metastasectomy, and history of thoracotomy or surgery experience elevated levels of anxiety. Therefore, consistent monitoring and psychological support may be recommended to improve the quality of life for this patient population.
