Uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy in the treatment of Lung Cancer.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy in the treatment of lung cancer.
methodsOne hundred and ten patients with lung cancer who were admitted to our hospital from February 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled and they were divided into the control group (55 patients) and observation group (55 patients) according to the random number table method. The patients in the observation group received uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy, and patients in the control group underwent triportal thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy. The surgical condition, postoperative pulmonary functions, postoperative complication incidence, and postoperative quality of life were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe intraoperative blood loss and number of dissected lymph nodes of the observation group were (125.31±12.63) mL and (13.91±2.41) respectively, which were not significantly different with (127.54±13.60) mL and (13.96±2.69) of the control group (P>0.05). The incision length of the observation group was (4.22±0.31) cm, shorter than (6.97±0.42) cm of the control group, the postoperative pain score was (2.87±0.69) points, lower than (4.31±1.09) points of the control group, and the operation time was (195.21±19.42) minutes, longer than (162.68±18.52) min of the control group; the differences were significantly different (P<0.05). The postoperative forced vital capacity (FVC), Maximum Ventilatory Volume (MVV) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1s (FEV1) in the observation group were (1.90±0.75) L, (54.59±16.03) L/minutes and (1.60±0.53) L respectively, larger than (1.06±0.28) L, (38.41±15.59) L/min and (1.02±0.15) L respectively (P<0.05). The scores of Short Form 36-item Health Survey (SF-36) of patients in the observation group was observed one month after surgery, significantly higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of complications of the postoperative complication of the observation group was 12.7%, which was not significantly different with 14.5% of the control group (P>0.05).
conclusionPatients who receive uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy have milder trauma, which is beneficial to the lung functions and postoperative recovery. Moreover, the number of dissected lymph nodes in uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy is equivalent with that in triportal thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy. Hence it is worth clinical promotion.
