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

objectivesCompare the differences in perioperative clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients of different genders who have undergone VATS lobectomy, and explore the impact of these differences on the short-term prognosis of patients.

methodsA total of 338 consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent VATS lobectomy in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, they were divided into male group and female group. The perioperative characteristics and short-term prognosis of different groups were compared. The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors.

resultsThere were statistically significant differences between male and female patients in age of onset, body surface area (BSA), smoking rate, alcohol consumption rate, hypertension incidence, pulmonary function and clinical stage. There were statistically significant differences between male and female patients in operation time and lymph node dissection. The probability of postoperative complications, such as pulmonary infection, persistent air leakage and severe subcutaneous emphysema, in male patients was significantly higher than that in female patients. The average daily postoperative thoracic drainage volume in male patients was considerably higher than that in female patients, and the postoperative duration of thoracic drainage tube and hospital stay in male patients were significantly longer than those in female patients. After multiple regression analysis, low FEVI values in males was found to be an independent risk factor for postoperative complications.

conclusionsCompared with female patients, male patients with lung cancer are more likely to have unfavorable factors such as older age, higher smoking rate, poor pulmonary function and late clinical stage of tumors when they undergoing VATS surgery treatment. The appropriate thoracic drainage time can be selected according to gender differences to shorten the length of hospital stay. The incidence of postoperative complications is higher in male patients, especially those with poor pulmonary function, and active perioperative intervention is required to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
