1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundProne position surgery has become widespread for esophageal cancer instead of the traditional lateral decubitus approach. Carbon dioxide insufflation and the gravity effect provide a better operative field without parenchymal retraction. We herein report a case of a subcarinal bronchogenic cyst, which was successfully removed by the prone position surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old man presented with a subcarinal mass and was planned to undergo a surgical resection in the prone position. Although he required bilateral ventilation due to hypoxemia, the excellent operative field was maintained and we completed the thoracoscopic surgery without any additional parenchymal retractions.

conclusionsThoracoscopic surgery in the prone position is a feasible option for subcarinal tumors with an excellent operative view and would facilitate a solo surgery without the need for a skilled assistant.
