Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (u-VATS) for Management of pulmonary hydatid cyst: A systematic review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background and objectives: Hydatid disease of the lung, caused by Methods: We conduct the platform searches on the PubMed and Google Scholar electronic databases from inception to January 20, 2022, among patients diagnosed with pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) who underwent the u-VATS approach. Results: This systematic review comprised five studies reporting 85 cases of PHC underwent (u-VATS) approach. Most patients were adults. The most common location of pulmonary hydatid cyst was the right lower lobe followed by the left lower lobe. The average size of PHC was 8.41 cm in all studies. The length of hospital stay was 3.85 days. The duration of operation time based on the means of the included studies was 86.19 min for each patient. Furthermore, the overall complication occurred in 9.35% of patients (n = 11) from 85 cases. The most complication was emphysema and prolonged air leak. The recurrence of pulmonary hydatid cyst did not occur in all studies. Conclusion: The feasibility of the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach has been proven globally in terms of reducing the overall complication, shorter chest tube duration, shorter surgery time, reduce postoperative pain, shorter chest tube duration, lower chest tube drainage, and less required to pain killers postoperatively.
