Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for major lung resection is associated with less immunochemokine disturbances than multiportal approach.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 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
Multiportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for major lung resection causes less immunochemokine production compared to thoracotomy. Whether uniportal VATS is similarly associated with lower early postoperative circulating levels of immunochemokines compared to multiportal VATS have not been studied. Selected patients who received uniportal or multiportal VATS major lung resection were recruited. Blood samples were collected preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 3 for enzyme linked immunosorbent assay of serum levels of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, Insulin Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP)-3, and Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP)-9. A linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze the effects of uniportal VATS on the postoperative circulating chemokine levels. From March 2014 to April 2017, 68 consecutive patients consented for the prospective study and received major lung resection by either uniportal VATS (N = 29) or multiportal VATS (N = 39) were identified. Uniportal VATS major lung resection was associated with lower post-operative levels of TIMP-1 and MMP-9 compared to multiportal VATS after controlling for the effects of the corresponding baseline level and the time of follow-up measurement. No difference was observed for the level of IGFBP-3. Less immunochemokine disturbances was observed after uniportal VATS major lung resection compared to multiportal VATS.
