Completion lobectomy after anatomical segmentectomy for thoracic malignancy.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
purposeCompletion lobectomy after segmentectomy is technically challenging because of dense hilar adhesions and altered anatomy. We evaluated perioperative outcomes and factors associated with extensive hilar adhesions.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 21 patients who underwent completion lobectomy after anatomical segmentectomy between April 2010 and March 2026. Hilar adhesions were classified as limited or extensive according to the technical difficulty of hilar dissection. Perioperative factors were compared between the two groups.
resultsExtensive hilar adhesions were encountered in 16 patients (76.2%). Pulmonary artery taping was performed in five (23.8%), vascular injury occurred in six (28.6%), and postoperative complications occurred in five (23.8%), with no 30- or 90-day mortality at completion lobectomy. At initial segmentectomy, ND2 lymph node dissection (100% vs. 40.0%, p = 0.008), fibrin glue use around the hilum (62.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.035), and polyglycolic acid sheet coverage (56.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.045) were more frequent in the extensive adhesion group. The interval between operations (median, 39.2 vs. 6.0 months, p = 0.011) and operative time at completion lobectomy (251 vs. 150 min, p = 0.018) were significantly longer in the extensive adhesion group.
conclusionCompletion lobectomy after anatomical segmentectomy is technically demanding but can be performed safely with meticulous hilar dissection and appropriate vascular control. ND2 lymph node dissection, fibrin glue or PGA sheet use around the hilum, and a longer interval between operations may help anticipate technical difficulty and guide surgical planning.
