1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The proportion of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is continuously increasing. The main areas of clinical application are anatomical lung resections with lymphadenectomy and resection of mediastinal tumors. Especially in the area of the thymus robot-assisted procedures can now be considered the gold standard. Overall, the limitations of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) can be overcome by the use of robot-assisted surgery and thus a larger proportion of patients can be treated with minimally invasive procedures. The safety of the RATS procedure has been repeatedly demonstrated, although it remains difficult to demonstrate scientifically measurable benefits. With the introduction of new systems on the market further technical evolution and improvement can be expected in the future.
