Safety and feasibility of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic uncommon segmentectomy.

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
backgroundIn recent years, opportunities to conduct anatomical segmentectomies for early stage lung cancer, metastatic lung tumor, and so on have been increasing. Generally, uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) uncommon segmentectomy is technically more complicated because of limited angulation compared to multiportal VATS (M-VATS) and the need to treat peripheral vessels/bronchi compared to common segmentectomy. This study aimed to determine the safety and feasibility of U-VATS uncommon segmentectomy compared with U-VATS common segmentectomy and M-VATS uncommon segmentectomy.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 76 patients in the M-VATS group and 45 patients in the U-VATS group who underwent VATS segmentectomy from January 2015 to December 2020. During that period, the perioperative results of U-VATS uncommon (n=22) segmentectomy were compared with those of U-VATS common (n=23) and M-VATS uncommon (n=37) segmentectomy. Uncommon segmentectomy was defined as any segmentectomy other than segmentectomies of the lingual, basilar, or superior segment of the lower lobe (S6), and upper division of the left upper lobe. All patients in our department underwent preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) angiography and bronchography to image bronchovascular structures and determine the resection line.
resultsPatients characteristics were similar between the U-VATS uncommon segmentectomy group and the U-VATS common segmentectomy group or the M-VATS uncommon segmentectomy group. In U-VATS, there were no significant differences between common and uncommon segmentectomy in operation time, postoperative drainage, postoperative hospitalization, and postoperative complications. Comparing M-VATS and U-VATS uncommon segmentectomies, operation time (145±35
conclusionsIn U-VATS, both types of segmentectomies can be achieved with similar results. Moreover, U-VATS shortened operation time and postoperative hospitalization in uncommon segmentectomy compared with conventional M-VATS. U-VATS is a useful approach for uncommon segmentectomy.
