Comparison of the Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy versus Open Thoracotomy for Primary Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Single Cohort Study with 269 Cases.

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
objectivesThis study aims to compare the outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy with open thoracotomy lobectomy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
methodsThere were 269 cases with NSCLC who underwent lobectomy between 2017-2019; these cases were retrospectively studied. VATS lobectomy (VATS Group) and open thoracotomy lobectomy (Thoracotomy Group) patients' results were compared according to the length of hospitalizations, early postoperative complications and tumor size and stages.
resultsVATS lobectomy was performed in 89 (33%) of these patients, whereas 180 (67%) patients underwent lobectomy using open thoracotomy for NSCLC. The findings showed that the average length of hospitalization was shorter in the VATS Group compared to the Thoracotomy Group (4 vs. 5.5 days) (p<0.05). It was found that the mean size of the tumour was smaller in the VATS Group when compared to the Thoracotomy Group (2.66 cm vs 3.97 cm) (p<0.001). Early postoperative complications were lower in the VATS Group (n=15, 16.8% vs n=58, 32.2%; p<0.021).
conclusionIn VATS lobectomy cases, postoperative complications are less, and the length of hospitalization is shorter. VATS lobectomy is mostly preferred smaller than 3 cm tumor size.
