Technical means to improve image quality during thoracoscopic procedures.
Article in Journal of visualized surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Although high definition imaging systems are now available in the operating room (OR), the displayed image quality during video-assisted procedures is often poor. This is due to several factors such as inappropriate angle of vision, instable endoscope, lens soiling and fogging. The aim of this article is to provide information about some technical and technological means that make it possible to keep a perfect picture all along a thoracoscopic procedure.
