Robot-assisted thoracoscopic bronchoplasty.
Article in Journal of visualized surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundRobotic systems have been used to enhance the surgeon's dexterity and visualization in endoscopic surgery and thus facilitate refined dissection, suturing, and knot tying. We describe use of the da Vinci surgical system for robotic-assisted thoracoscopic bronchoplasty in patient with centrally located lung cancer.
methodsWe used three robotic ports (a 12-mm trocar for the 30°-down camera and two 8-mm trocars for the robotic instrument arms) and one utility incision for assistance and specimen retrieval. Lung isolation were achieved using double-lumen endotracheal tube without carbon dioxide inflation. The bronchoplasty was performed by using 4/0 polydioxanone suture (PDS).
resultsThree cases of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic bronchoplasty (n=3) were performed. Case 1: right upper lobe lobectomy with right main bronchus primary closure; case 2: right upper lobe lobectomy with the anterior wall of the right main bronchus re-anastomosis; case 3: left upper lobe sleeve lobectomy. The surgery and post-operative course were smooth without complication.
conclusionsWe suggest that robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery offers specific advantages over conventional thoracoscopic surgery with accuracy and safety when doing bronchoplasty.
