Clinical Analysis of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Resection of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules and Influencing Factors in the Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Nodules.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis is a retrospective research comparing the clinical outcomes of single-hole versus multi-hole video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) resection for solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) and examining the factors influencing the diagnosis of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules.
methodWe collected the clinical data, surgical status, outcomes, and corresponding imaging features of 317 patients with SPN who were surgically resected by VATS and diagnosed as benign or malignant by pathology in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021.
resultAmong the 317 patients, 124 (39.12%) underwent single-port VATS and 193 (60.88%) underwent multiple-hole VATS. All patients were grouped according to the different surgical methods, and their postoperative indicators were statistically analyzed. The results showed that neither the single-port VATS group nor the multi-port VATS group had any serious adverse events such as death during the perioperative period. The average operation time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage tube indwelling time, and postoperative hospital stay were significantly lower in the two groups. Statistics of postoperative pathological diagnosis showed that 98 cases (30.91%) of all nodules were benign nodules and 219 cases (69.09%) were malignant nodules, and a further single-multivariate analysis showed that age, nodule maximum diameter, lobular sign, burr sign, vascular cluster sign, and pleural depression sign were independent relevant factors for the diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules.
conclusionVATS is less invasive and has fewer complications and is of great clinical value for both diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant SPN. Age, maximum nodal diameter, lobar sign, burr sign, vascular set sign, and pleural depression sign were independent correlates affecting the diagnosis of benign and malignant SPN, which reminds that great attention should be paid to patients who are older and have risk factors on imaging, and early and timely active treatment or close follow-up should be carried out.
