A word of caution-when uniportal VATS should not be done.
Review in Journal of visualized surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Uniportal VATS (U-VATS) is gaining more and more popularity. Herein, we discuss the current status of adoption of the technique and-from a "laggard's" point of view-some situations when the use of U-VATS should be reconsidered. As we all do lack scientific evidence for the superiority of one minimally invasive approach over the other, these situations reflect a gut feeling rather than solid arguments. The article should raise awareness of currently discussed issues with minimally invasive approaches. Finally, it highlights the need for randomized controlled trials, if we really want to rank minimally invasive accesses.
