Modified left subsuperior segmentectomy via 2-cm uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Article in Surgery today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Independent subsuperior segmentectomy (S*) via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has rarely been reported. We describe our modified technique of performing simplified left subsuperior segmentectomy for a lung nodule, via 2-cm uniportal VATS. The uniportal approach was different from the traditional approach made by blunt separation into the thorax without electrocautery. Our modified technique minimizes damage to the intercostal nerves and muscles. We also simplified the subsuperior segmentectomy procedure according to the findings of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography angiography and bronchography. Combining these two techniques achieves a new more minimally invasive method for subsuperior segmentectomy.
