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: Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) with valves is a treatment option for selected patients with emphysema. Collateral Ventilation (CV) is measured directly with the Chartis Study Design and Methods: This retrospective analysis used data from the German Lungenemphysemregister e.V. a prospective multicenter trial on lung volume reduction therapy. Patients with an intact fissure (FCS ≥95%) of the target lobe undergoing ELVR were included. Treatment outcomes were compared between patients who had a Chartis Results: A total of 262 patients were analyzed: 175 with Chartis Discussion: This analysis did not find evidence that a Chartis
