Minimally invasive cardiac surgery in Japan: history and current status.
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This review examines the historical and current status of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) in Japan, based on reports that have been published in English. Although enthusiasm for MICS in Japan increased during the 1990s, it waned during the early 2000s because of various limitations. However, the introduction of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, aortic valve replacement, atrial septal defect closure, and coronary artery bypass has led to the resurgence of MICS in Japan during recent years. Academic societies and a national registry system will play an important role in ensuring that this new wave of MICS is implemented safely and effectively. Off-the-job training and team building are also key factors for implementing a successful MICS program.
