Preoperative Three-Dimensional Lung Simulation Before Thoracoscopic Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Whether the utilization of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) lung simulation can improve the outcomes of segmentectomy for lung cancer (LC) is still controversial. Our meta-analysis was performed to compare preoperative 3D lung simulation with non-3D procedures in terms of perioperative outcomes. Methods: Seven databases (Embase, Ovid Medline, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were searched for eligible articles. Intraoperative outcomes (conversion, operative time, etc.), postoperative indicators (postoperative hospital stay, total number of complications, etc.) and postoperative complications were endpoints. Results: After applying predefined inclusion criteria, we included 8 studies and 989 patients (3D group: 552 patients; non-3D group: 437 patients) in our meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that preoperative 3D lung simulation could significantly decrease the blood loss (mean difference [MD]: -16.21 [-24.95 to -7.47]ml, Conclusions: Preoperative 3D lung simulation was better than non-3D procedures in segmentectomy for LC, with better intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. However, our results should be confirmed in larger prospective randomized controlled trials. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO, identifier: CRD42021275020.
