Comparison of single-stage and two-stage bilateral video-assisted thoracic surgery.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveSingle-stage sequential bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a controversial procedure. In the present study, we retrospectively compared the outcomes of single-stage and two-stage VATS.
methodsThis study involved patients who underwent single-stage sequential bilateral VATS (SS-VATS group) or two-stage VATS at a 3-month interval (TS-VATS group) for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer from 2010 to 2018. The major outcome was the comparison of intraoperative changes.
resultsThe inspiratory peak pressure was higher, the incidences of intraoperative hypoxia and unstable hemodynamics were higher, the surgical time was longer, and the durations of the intensive care unit stay and postoperative hospitalization were longer in the SS-VATS group than in the TS-VATS group. However, the chest tube duration, incidence of postoperative mechanical ventilation, and clinical complications were not different between the two groups.
conclusionsCompared with two-stage VATS, single-stage sequential bilateral VATS can be performed for successful treatment of bilateral pulmonary lesions with a shorter total time and higher cost-effectiveness in terms of anesthesia and hospitalization but with a higher incidence of intraoperative adverse effects and a longer hospital stay.
