Efficacy of thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy for small pulmonary nodules.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundSmall pulmonary nodules are tissue shadows and thoracoscopic segmentectomy in China is still at the exploratory stage with limited application.
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy for small pulmonary nodules.
methodsMedical records of 86 patients with small pulmonary nodules treated at our hospital between August 2016 and October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed; 40 cases who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy were set as a reference group, and 46 cases who underwent thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy were set as an observation group. Preoperative and postoperative parameters were measured in both groups, including the percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV
resultsNo significant difference was observed in the results of four serum tumor marker (CA125, CA19-9, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, and neuron-specific enolase), the number of dissected lymph nodes, treatment cost, or preoperative pulmonary ventilation index between the two groups. Intraoperative bleeding volume, drainage volume, drainage time, hospital stay, and visual analogue scale score were significantly lower in the observation group (
conclusionThe efficacy of thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy and lobectomy for small pulmonary nodules shows no significant difference in terms of lesion removal, but anatomical segmentectomy is less invasive with fewer postoperative complications and less influence on lung function.
