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

Coordination between the thoracoscope assistant and the surgeon was difficult during single port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SP-VATS). What's more, holding the thoracoscope was an exhausting work for the assistant and optimized strategies were intensely needed. This paper aims to share our experience in making the thoracoscope assistant feel comfortable by illustrating the stepwise approaches in optimizing the strategies for holding the thoracoscope during our practice of SP-VATS. The evolution of techniques were divided into four stages: stage I, traditional 10-mm 30° thoracoscope placed at the posterior part of the incision; stage II, 5-mm thoracoscope towed and fixed via a silk suture; stage III, 5-mm thoracoscope placed outside of a plastic wound protector; stage IV, 5-mm thoracoscope introduced into the thoracic cavity through a 5-mm laparoscopic trocar outside of a plastic wound protector and the assistant stood at a foot-stool. After stepwise improvement, the thoracoscope assistant felt more labor saving and comfortable, and coordination with the surgeon has become smoother.
