Initial experience with and surgical outcomes of da Vinci single-port system in general thoracic surgery.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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: The da Vinci single-port system (SPS) (Model SP1098, Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) has been used in genitourinary and general surgical procedures; however, its clinical application in general thoracic surgery has not been attempted. This retrospective study investigated the clinical outcomes of SPS in general thoracic surgery. Methods: After approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea, the surgical details of SPS in simple thoracic surgeries at two independent institutions were collected and retrospectively reviewed. Results: Overall, 17 surgeries were performed using SPS without conversion to multiport surgery. The patients included six males, and the overall median age was 52 years (range, 28-83 years). The commonest pathological diagnoses were thymoma (8 cases) and benign cystic lesions (6 cases). The approach for SPS was subxiphoid, subcostal, and intercostal in 11, 4, and 2 cases, respectively. All patients underwent the surgeries without complications. The median operation time and peak pain score were 120 minutes (range, 58-250 minutes) and 3 (range, 2-4). The median duration of Conclusions: The application of SPS in the field of general thoracic surgery is feasible and can be successful. Although this study reported preliminary data and the cases were relatively simple, advanced and complex procedures should be attempted with the SPS in the near future.
