Uniportal versus multiportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer.
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 28 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVideo-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy is the recommended surgical approach for patients with stage I lung cancer. Whether a multiportal or a uniportal approach is preferable remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of implementing uniportal VATS lobectomy into the treatment program of lung cancer patients.
methodsWe used the national quality register for general thoracic surgery in Sweden and included all patients who underwent VATS lobectomy for lung cancer at the Karolinska University Hospital between 2016-2018. Early postoperative complications were compared in patients undergoing uniportal (n=122) and multiportal (n=211) VATS lobectomy for lung cancer. Inverse probability of treatment weighting and standardized mean differences were used to limit differences in baseline characteristics and to assess balance after weighting.
resultsThe proportion of uniportal VATS lobectomies increased during the study period and the conversion rates declined significantly. Baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups with the exception of a higher percentage of patients without any comorbidity in the uniportal group (59.8%
conclusionsWe found that uniportal VATS lobectomy was feasible and safe, and might entail advantages in terms of a faster recovery after surgery as compared to multiportal VATS lobectomy in patients with lung cancer.
