First experiences in non-intubated, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a single-centre study.
Article in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with non-intubated technique is safely performed under spontaneous breathing and sedation. With this surgery, many complex thoracic surgical interventions can be successfully applied.
aimWe shared the results of our patients who underwent mediastinal biopsy, pleural biopsy, lung wedge resection, pneumothorax surgery, and pleural delocculation with non-intubated VATS. MATERIAL AND
methodsPatients who underwent surgery with non-intubated VATS between March 2015 and May 2020 in our clinic were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in terms of many factors such as age, gender, applied surgical intervention, diagnosis, side of surgery, duration of surgery, and time of hospital stay, and the results were recorded retrospectively.
resultsTwenty of the patients were male and 12 were female. Regarding comorbid diseases in our patient group, 13 had extra-thoracic malignancy, 7 had hypertension, 6 had heart disease, 5 had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, and 4 had diabetes mellitus. Pleural drainage and biopsy were performed in 10 patients and wedge resection in 8 patients. Bullectomy and apical pleural abrasion were performed in 6 patients, mediastinal mass biopsy was performed in 4 patients, and delocculation was performed in 4 patients due to empyema.
conclusionsThe non-intubated VATS approach can be safely applied in procedures such as lung resections, pleural or mediastinal interventions, and pneumothorax surgery. With this technique, the absence of intubation and mechanical ventilation facilitates the return to normal respiratory physiology, and we think that the recovery time of the patient, the duration of hospital stay, and treatment costs are reduced.
