Minimally invasive approach to pneumothorax: Single port or two ports?
Article in Turk gogus kalp damar cerrahisi dergisi, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis study aims to compare the effectiveness of single-port and two-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in patients with pneumothorax.
methodsBetween June 2016 and December 2018, a total of 44 patients (39 males, 5 females; mean age 27.0±9.5 years; range, 15 to 60 years) who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery due to the spontaneous pneumothorax in our center were retrospectively evaluated. The study population was divided into two groups as the single-port (n=29) and two-port (n=15) procedure according to the number of port entries applied during the operation. Age, gender, number of days of drainage, length of hospitalization, number of days of air leak, the indication of operation, pneumothorax side, type of pneumothorax, duration of operation, and complications were compared between the groups.
resultsTwenty-two patients (50%) were operated on the right side and 22 patients (50%) on the left side. The mean operation time was 81.1±19.2 min, indicating no significant difference between the groups (p=0.053). No significant difference was observed in the number of days of drainage, the length of hospitalization, and number of days of air leak between the two groups. Complications developed in eight patients (27.6%) in the single-port group and five patients (33.3%) in the two-port group, indicating no significant difference between the groups (p=0.475).
conclusionOur study results show that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of pneumothorax can be successfully performed via a single-port approach.
