Comparison of Chronic Postsurgical Pain Between Single-Port and Multi-Port Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Resection: A Prospective Study.
Article in The Thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundLittle is known about the prevalence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) among patients receiving single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (SP-VATS) compared with those undergoing multi-port VATS (MP-VATS). This study aimed to compare the incidence of CPSP between SP-VATS and MP-VATS lung resection and assess how the pain affected the daily living activities of this patient population.
methodsWe prospectively collected data regarding the demographic features, clinical factors during surgery, the intensity of acute postoperative pain, and complications after surgery among patients receiving elective SP-VATS or MP-VATS lung resection at our institution between June 2015 and August 2018. At 3-, 6-, and 12-months following surgery, the patients were followed up through a telephonic interview. The Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form was adopted to assess the incidence, severity and location of the CPSP, analgesic consumption, as well as the interference of pain with daily activities.
resultsIn total, 476 patients were screened for eligibility, 411 patients were followed up for 12 months and included in final analysis. Among these, 190 patients had undergone an SP-VATS pulmonary resection and 221 had an MP-VATS pulmonary resection. At both 3 and 6 months, the incidence of CPSP in the SP-VATS group was lower than that in the MP-VATS group (25.3 vs. 38.0%,
conclusionsThis study indicated that the SP-VATS technique reduced the prevalence of CPSP at 3- and 6-months post-pulmonary resection compared with the MP-VATS technique. The SP-VATS technique also significantly alleviated pain interference with the daily living activities of the patients.
