Left sleeve pneumonectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic approach.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Left sleeve pneumonectomy is a rarer intervention compared with right sleeve pneumonectomy. It is a challenging surgical therapeutic strategy even when performed through open thoracotomy. Here, we report a case of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) left sleeve pneumonectomy in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer. The tumor, located at the opening of left upper lobe bronchus, submucosally invaded the orifice of lower lobe extending upward to 4 to 5 cartilage rings of the left main bronchus and to the level of the carina. Left sleeve pneumonectomy and airway reconstruction was performed through video-assisted thoracoscopic completely with an incision of 4 cm. The total operative time was 220 minutes and the estimated intraoperative blood loss was 300 mL. Chylothorax occurred after surgery, which was well handled, and no other severe complication was observed. Three months after the surgery, the follow-up bronchoscopy revealed good healing of the anastomosis. No signal of tumor recurrence was observed by follow-up examination 1 year after the surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported uniportal VATS left sleeve pneumonectomy in the world. It was indicated that uniportal VATS might be a feasible approach for left sleeve pneumonectomy, with less surgical trauma compared with other approaches.
