Subxiphoid approach for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: an update.
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. Cited by 12 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 transthoracic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is considered as standard operation for various thoracic diseases. With the development of single-incision VATS, the thoracic surgery becomes less traumatic. However, chronic chest wound pain still an issue despite the less invasive approach. Therefore, subxiphoid VATS was proposed to overcome this problem. In this article, we review current applications, pros and cons, and potential developments of VATS through subxiphoid approach.
