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: Pulmonary basal segmentectomy is more technically demanding than other segmental resections because of its anatomical complexity and frequent variations in vascular and bronchial structures. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that affect operation time, postoperative complications and surgical costs during basal segment resection to provide reference value for clinical practice. Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled 190 patients who underwent thoracoscopic single or combined basal segmentectomy at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of China-Japan Friendship Hospital. Basic clinical information and perioperative data were collected, and Spearman correlation analysis and non-parametric Mann-Whitney Results: Among the 190 patients, 70 patients underwent segment resection excluding S9/S10, and 120 patients underwent segmentectomy including S9/S10. The mean operative time was 2.18±0.76 hours, the average duration of chest drainage was 3.24 days, and the mean postoperative hospitalization time was 4.24 days. The final multiple linear regression analysis results show that surgical approach, surgical procedure and intraoperative bleeding will significantly affect the operation time, surgical procedure will significantly affect the total hospitalization cost, and poor development of lung fissure will prolong the postoperative tube time. In 119 cases, the surgeon was just beginning to perform segmentectomy; after 119 cases, the surgeon became quite proficient. Thus, surgery becomes more efficient. Conclusions: The surgical choice of single-hole thoracoscopy may significantly shorten the operation time, and the intraoperative bleeding will significantly increase the total operation time. The operation time with S9/S10 is longer than that without S9 and S10, and the total cost of hospitalization is higher. The development of pulmonary fissures significantly reduces the possibility of postoperative lung leakage.
