Changes in respiratory mechanics of artificial pneumothorax two-lung ventilation in video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy in prone position.

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
We aimed to clarify the changes in respiratory mechanics and factors associated with them in artificial pneumothorax two-lung ventilation in video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (PP-VATS-E) for esophageal cancer. Data of patients with esophageal cancer, who underwent PP-VATs-E were retrospectively analyzed. Our primary outcome was the change in the respiratory mechanics after intubation (T1), in the prone position (T2), after initiation of the artificial pneumothorax two-lung ventilation (T3), at 1 and 2 h (T4 and T5), in the supine position (T6), and after laparoscopy (T7). The secondary outcome was identifying factors affecting the change in dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn). Sixty-seven patients were included. Cdyn values were significantly lower at T3, T4, and T5 than at T1 (p < 0.001). End-expiratory flow was significantly higher at T4 and T5 than at T1 (p < 0.05). Body mass index and preoperative FEV
