Robotic segmentectomy: indication and technique.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Use of low-dose CT scan allows detection of lung cancer at early stages, enabling a more conservative surgery and a better long-term survival in those patients. In this scenario, intentional anatomical segmentectomy is gaining consent over standard lobectomy among surgeons. A minimally invasive approach such as VATS reduced invasiveness and complication rate compared to open surgery, but this technique comes also with some disadvantages in terms of dexterity and intuitiveness. Robotic surgery allows to overcome those limitations, making segmentectomies easier and safer to perform. In addition, it offers the possibility to utilize intravenous indocyanine green to define the intersegmental plane, allowing a more precise surgery. We reviewed the literature and describe the technique of the robot assisted segmentectomy with a focus on the new technologies available nowadays.
