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

Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer is accepted worldwide, with incisions ranging from 4 to 6 cm. We believed in less invasive and more precise that uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy could be. Therefore, we performed modular uniportal thoracoscopic lobectomy with systemic lymphadenectomy on left upper lobe using a 3-cm-diameter port. And the modular surgical route was arranged in seven modules. Anesthesia, patient positioning and instruments play an important role in the surgery. From October 2014 to June 2015, 96 patients underwent this modular surgery and all patient were discharged uneventfully with no postoperative deaths. Compared with multi-port VATS, the operation time were longer than multiport video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) (164.70±12.50 vs. 160.70±11.60 min, P>0.05), and the mean lymphadenectomy station was 6.00±0.77, and the mean lymphadenectomy number was 17.58±5.33. There is no significant difference on lymphadenectomy. Thus, modular uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy with systemic lymphadenectomy on left upper lobe using a 3-cm-diameter port is a safe, feasible, and less painful technique for select patients with lung disease.
