Why should we prefer the single port access thoracic surgery?
Article in Journal of visualized surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
One of the greatest advances in Thoracic Surgery in our generation has been the advent of video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The more recent advance in VATS is the increasing use of Uniportal surgery. The development of single-port VATS has come a long way, from the beginning, when it was employed for performing simple procedures, to the last years with complex major lung resections. Nowadays, Uniportal VATS is not a Manichean law because there are several steps between open thoracotomy and Uniportal VATS. In thoracic surgery, a skilled surgeon alone cannot sustain new approaches or techniques; it is natural that minimally invasive thoracic surgery continues to evolve, since VATS is a never-ending story and Uniportal VATS is not the end of this history.
