Impact of artificial capnothorax on coagulation in patients during video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy for squamous cell carcinoma.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCompared with the lung isolation using double-lumen endobronchial tube intubation, the artificial capnothorax using single-lumen endotracheal tube intubation has shown to be a safe, more convenient, and cost-effective procedure for thoracoscopic esophagectomy. However, the impact of capnothorax on coagulation is not well defined. Herein, we evaluate the impact of a capnothorax on coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients who undergoing thoracoscopic esophagectomy.
methodsBetween March 2014 and August 2014, 24 patients underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomies for esophageal cancer with the procedure of artificial capnothorax (group P); we also performed 24 thoracoscopic esophagectomy cases without using capnothorax (group N). The demographics and arterial blood gas, as well as the parameters of coagulation and fibrinolysis, of the two groups were analyzed.
resultsThe pH value of group P after CO2 insufflation was significantly lower than in group N (P < 0.05), and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was significantly increased compared with group N (P < 0.05). The R and K values after CO2 insufflation were significantly longer than before anesthesia (P < 0.05), and both α angle and MA value after CO2 insufflation were significantly lower than those before anesthesia (P < 0.05). No significant differences in R value, K value, α angle, or MA value were observed between pre-anesthesia and termination of capnothorax. No significant difference in LY30 data was found between different groups (P > 0.05).
conclusionArtificial capnothorax in patients receiving endoscopic resection of esophageal carcinoma had a significant impact on coagulation. These patients showed significant impairments in coagulation not observed in patients without artificial capnothorax.
