Handling benign interlobar lymphadenopathy during thoracoscopic lobectomy.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 presence of calcified or inflammatory lymph nodes between the target bronchus and pulmonary artery is a huge challenge when performing thoracoscopic lobectomy as it may frequently result in tearing of the vessel, and massive bleeding. Herein, we describe a simple strategy in which thoracoscopic lobectomy was safely completed in similar cases. After fissure dissection, the target pulmonary artery was exposed by more than two-thirds of its circumference. A needle was passed across the nodes and the target vessel was closed with a proximal and distal suture. After dissection of lymphadenopathies, the target bronchus was exposed, and stapled. This strategy was applied with success to complete right lower lobectomies for cancer in three patients. No complications occurred during the operation. Only one patient had persistent air leaks that spontaneously ceased 11 days later. Final pathology showed pN0 disease in all cases.
