Subxiphoid approach for spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax: a case report.
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 4 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
The development of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has contributed to reduced pain and improved recovery following thoracic surgery. However, pain remains a major issue. Patients with bilateral pulmonary pathology requiring operative intervention may have even more pain due to bilateral transthoracic incisions. The recently described uniportal subxiphoid VATS approach provides an opportunity to undertake bilateral thoracic surgery through a single incision that avoids the bilateral intercostal nerve damage caused by transthoracic incision and drainage. Here we report a case of a patient requiring bilateral bullectomy and pleurectomy for the management of pneumothorax that was performed successfully by the subxiphoid VATS approach.
