Techniques of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery-esophageal and mediastinal indications.
Article 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 5 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 approach for esophagus and mediastinum is gaining popularity. While a transthoracic approach is applied for esophagus frequently from the 5th or 6th intercostal space on the posterior axillary line, approach to anterior mediastinum is variable with access through right/left chest, cervical and subxiphoid regions. The results of uniportal approach for esophagus and mediastinum are comparable with multiport video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and open approach in terms of bleeding, oncologic adequacy and operation times. Indications are similar with open and multiportal VATS cases, however large mediastinal tumors (>5 cm) and T3-4 esophageal cancers can be challenging in the beginning in terms of oncologic adequacy of the operations. Uniportal approach for esophagus and mediastinum is utilized more frequently and initial reports show that it is feasible and its applicability and advantages will become apparent in the coming years.
