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
backgroundPulmonary sequestration is a rare disease whose development begins in the embryonic stage. Surgery is the definitive treatment for eliminating respiratory symptoms and preventing complications. Reports of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy and segmentectomy for pulmonary sequestration are limited in the literature. This study analyzes the perioperative results of the uniportal approach and compared them with those of the multiportal approach for pulmonary sequestration.
methodsWe collected a VATS series in a single institute from 2007 to 2017. Adult patients diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration and who had received surgical intervention were included. The use of uniportal VATS began from 2016. The perioperative outcomes for uniportal and multiportal approaches were compared.
resultsA total of 19 patients (7 in the uniportal group and 12 in the multiportal group) were included. VATS segmentectomy was performed significantly more in the uniportal group (P=0.033). Shorter operative time, less intraoperative blood loss, shorter pleural drainage time, and shorter postoperative hospital stay were found for the uniportal group; however, the differences compared with the multiportal group were not significant. There was also no significant difference in perioperative parameters among patients who underwent wedge resection, segmentectomy and lobectomy, respectively. All patients were symptom-free in the follow-up.
conclusionsThe perioperative results for a series of uniportal VATS anatomical resections for pulmonary sequestration were found to be better than those obtained with the multiportal approach. Although a challenging procedure, uniportal VATS segmentectomy can be performed safely for pulmonary sequestration to preserve more healthy pulmonary parenchyma.
