Subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A cosmetically superior approach to submammary rib tumor resection.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 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
This report describes a cosmetically superior approach to submammary rib tumor resection. Surgical resection is the most effective method for the treatment of rib tumors. Common surgical methods include thoracotomy and thoracoscopic surgery. Subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has recently been described and is being increasingly used in a variety of thoracic procedures, including thymectomy, lobectomy, and resection of giant pleural fibroids. However, there has been no report in the literature which has described the use of uniportal subxiphoid VATS for rib tumor resection. We herein report the successful removal of fibrous dysplasia of the anterolateral segment of the sixth rib by subxiphoid uniportal VATS.
