A simplified model for determining the cutting plane during thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy of the right lower lobe.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundFew studies have examined the use of two-dimensional computed tomography (2D CT) and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction images to determine the intersegmental plane (ISP) for pulmonary segmentectomy, but a systematic approach and nomenclature are currently lacking. This current study used 3D reconstruction of CT imaging to analyze variations in the right lower lobe's pulmonary ISP and created a simplified model to determine the optimum cutting plane (CP) for clinical application for operative planning and use during thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy (APL).
methodsBetween January 2018 and October 2019, 325 patients with pulmonary lesions were identified who underwent thin-slice CT scans of the chest. The ISPs were identified by analyzing the 2D CT scans and 3D reconstruction images and the anatomical characteristics segmental boundary. The CP for the thoracoscopic procedure was then determined within the safe surgical margins, and a simplified CP model was created.
resultsThe boundary between adjacent lung segment A and segment B was be expressed as "ISP: Sa-Sb". The ISP was divided into venous ISP (VISP), arterial ISP (AISP), and bronchial ISP (BISP). The proposed model of the CP can be expressed as follows: CP (f) = (V/A/B) ISP (x) + (V/A/B) sub ISP (y) + (V/A/B) sub-sub ISP (z).
conclusionsThis report is a first attempt to provide a nomenclature for identifying the ISP, and create a simplified model for determining the CP for thoracoscopic partial lobectomy.
