Effect of position management combined with active cycle of breathing techniques on reducing postoperative pulmonary complications in lung cancer patients.
Trial report in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07612033 (Effect of Positioning Combined With Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques on Pulmonary Complications After Cardiac Surgeries), which is not on this map. 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore the effect of position management combined with active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) in reducing postoperative complications in patients with lung cancer.
methodsBetween March 2022 and March 2023, 213 patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery at a tertiary hospital in Dalian were screened and randomized into three groups: control (routine nursing, n=71), experimental group 1 (routine nursing + ACBT, n=73), and experimental group 2 (routine nursing + ACBT + position management, n=69). After excluding 6 patients, 207 were analyzed (69 per group). Outcomes compared included incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, duration of chest tube placement, hospital stay, postoperative oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and nursing satisfaction.
resultsPostoperative pulmonary complications occurred in 23.2% (17/69) of the control group, 13.0% (9/69) of experimental group 1, and 4.3% (4/69) of experimental group 2 （X2, p=0.007）. Repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences in SpO₂ across groups (p < 0.001), time points (p< 0.001), and their interaction (p < 0.001) on postoperative days 1-5. The average drainage tube duration was 3.74 ± 2.83 days (control),3.90 ± 3.25 days (group 1), and 2.74 ± 1.11 days (group 2) (H=10.638, p=0.005). The postoperative hospital stays were 6.42 ± 3.76 days (control), 6.39 ± 4.33 days (group 1), and 4.99 ± 1.24 days (group 2) (H=7.868, p=0.020). Satisfaction scores were 4.46 ± 0.50 (control), 4.66 ± 0.48 (group 1), and 4.87 ± 0.34 (group2) (H=26.121, p=0.000).
conclusionsPosition management combined with active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) may promote respiratory secretion clearance, potentially reduce postoperative pulmonary complications, shorten chest tube duration and hospitalization, and improve oxygen saturation and patient satisfaction in lung cancer patients. These findings suggest potential clinical benefits of the combined approach in perioperative nursing for lung cancer patients; however, larger multicenter trials with longer follow-up are required to validate these results.
