Current role of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer treatment.
Article in Journal of clinical and translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) as an approach for early-stage lung cancer treatment has revealed benefits compared to open surgery by minimizing trauma to the patients. This trend has brought the evolution of VATS to less and less invasive methods, eventually leading to the development of Uniportal VATS (UniVATS) technique. This new approach has shown to be resourceful, proving its feasibility even for complex oncological procedures. Furthermore, data is starting to express some benefits over multiport VATS, thus spurring on its development towards newer and more complex procedures. It is also been adopted by the surgical community achieving fast evolution and worldwide diffusion. Here, we review the evolution of UniVATS, its current state of evidence, some basic technical aspects, the present role it has in lung cancer treatment and the ongoing development of the technique. RELEVANCE FOR PATIENTS: This article could help patients to understand how the UniVATS technique developed as part of the evolution of VATS, sharing its benefits and indications. Furthermore, patients would be able to understand technical aspects and the current applications of UniVATS for lung cancer treatment.
