1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is minimally invasive thoracic surgery that does not use a formal thoracotomy incision. It was first introduced by Dr Diego Gonzalez-Rivas in 2011. We report here our first case performed in Salmaniya Medical Complex in Bahrain using uniportal VATS lobectomy for a patient with colorectal cancer who had a lung metastasis. Uniportal VATS lobectomy is a safe and feasible procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. It has remarkably reduced postoperative complications as well as the length of stay. However, survival percentage VATS lobectomy appears to be equivalent to survival percentage obtained with open lobectomy.
