Devising the guidelines: the concept of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery-incisions and anesthetic management.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an already established minimally invasive technique in the field of thoracic surgery. The feasibility, safety and efficacy of the technique are already well documented. Comparative studies and meta-analyses have shown a clear advantage over open surgery and other minimally invasive techniques in terms of pain, length of stay (LOS), chest drain duration and morbidity. It covers a broad spectrum of indications for both malignant and benign diseases, including pulmonary and mediastinal tumor resections, diaphragm procedures (plication), esophageal surgery and airway surgery (bronchial resections, carinal resections). Its swift and wide adoption has resulted into many variations, all of whom are common in the fact they utilize a single incision to enter the chest and conduct the planned procedure. With this article, we attempt to standardize the technique as to the incision and the anesthetic management.
