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

introductionVideo-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been widely accepted in the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic diseases for the past three decades due to its small incision, minimal trauma, and rapid recovery after surgery. A growing number of patients with concurrent pulmonary nodules and mediastinal lesions have been detected. Simultaneous ipsilateral resection of coexisting lesions is a preferred procedure.

aimTo introduce our technique and preliminary experience in performing uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for the simultaneous resection of pulmonary and mediastinal lesions. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively analysed 8 consecutive patients who underwent simultaneous uniportal VATS resection of coexisting lesions of the lung and mediastinum in our centre. The clinical data were recorded and analysed.

resultsA total of 8 patients were enrolled, and all patients successfully underwent surgery through a single incision; no perioperative deaths occurred. The average single incision length was 3.9 ±0.3 cm, the operative time was 102.3 ±54.4 min, and the bleeding volume was 27.5 ±17.9 ml. The thoracic drainage time was 3.0 ±2.3 days, with a mean volume of 390.6 ±361.3 ml. The length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0 ±1.9 (range: 3-9) days. No serious complications were observed in the hospital or during postoperative follow-up.

conclusionsUniportal VATS is feasible and safe for the simultaneous resection of pulmonary and mediastinal lesions in selected patients and offers cosmetically pleasing incisions and promising clinical application prospects.
