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

backgroundVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been recognized as a standard procedure, but whether uniport VATS (U-VATS) is a more effective and minimally invasive approach compared with multiport VATS (M-VATS) is controversial.

methodsThe medical records of 184 patients in the M-VATS group and 69 patients in the U-VATS group who underwent anatomical lung resection from April 2017 to July 2020 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative outcomes were compared among U-VATS and M-VATS. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors that reduce postoperative pain.

resultsThe mean operation time was significantly shorter in U-VATS than in M-VATS (172±43 min in M-VATS

conclusionsU-VATS shortened the operation time, postoperative drainage duration, and hospitalization compared with conventional M-VATS, and it significantly reduced the use of analgesics. There were no differences in perioperative results such as blood loss and the postoperative complication rate. U-VATS can be said to be a safe and minimally invasive surgical procedure.
