Comparison of ventilation and cardiovascular parameters between prone thoracoscopic and Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.

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
Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position is associated with better surgical ergonomics compared to the left lateral decubitus position due to the effects of gravity pooling blood outside the operative field and the reduced need for lung retraction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological effects of prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy with single-lumen intubation on ventilation, respiratory gas exchange, and cardiovascular parameters. Thirty-two consecutive patients underwent esophagectomy either through a prone thoracoscopic approach or through a right thoracotomic approach. Samples of arterial and central venous blood, as well as ventilation and cardiovascular parameters were obtained at baseline, during induction of anesthesia, throughout the operation, and after extubation. Patients undergoing prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy showed higher oxygenation levels (p < 0.001), and a significantly lower mean pulmonary shunt fraction (p = 0.001). Perioperative hemodynamics remained stable throughout the surgical procedures. Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position with two-lung ventilation was associated with a significant improvement of global oxygen delivery and a significant reduction of the pulmonary shunt when compared to the Ivor Lewis operation.
