Minimally invasive thoracic surgery: beyond surgical access.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07232940 (Comparison of the Effects of Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block and Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block on Postoperative Analgesia Management in Patients Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 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.

Abstract
Thoracic surgery has evolved throughout the decades. The difficulty of accessing the intrathoracic organs through the bony rib-cage has been a challenge for thoracic surgeons. In the past, large incisions stretching across the chest, such as posterolateral thoracotomies with rib spreading was the standard approach to access the lungs. These methods cause large amounts of trauma to the patient, with high rates of mortality and morbidity. However, with the advances in technology and the improvements in surgical technique, thoracic surgery has progressed to minimise trauma to the patient while still maintaining oncological and surgical principles. State-of-the-art technology, combined with wide variety of old and new surgical techniques give the thoracic surgeon a formidable armamentarium. Although there has been a focus on reducing the number and size of surgical wounds, considerations other than surgical approach can reduce the trauma suffered by the patient. Preservation of pulmonary function via organ preservation and anaesthetic techniques to further minimise the systemic inflammation such as non-intubated anaesthesia have also been shown to improve patient outcomes. This article aims to review the recent advances in minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
