Uniportal thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy provides good perioperative results and early postoperative recovery.
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 13 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: Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy has become widespread, the advantage of uniportal VATS (U-VATS) segmentectomy over multiportal VATS (M-VATS) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to verify the safety and usefulness of U-VATS segmentectomy compared with conventional hybrid/multiportal segmentectomy. Methods: Here, we retrospectively reviewed the data from anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy cases in a single institution from March 2010 to March 2021. Patients were divided into the U-VATS and hybrid/multiportal VATS (H/M-VATS) groups. Perioperative results were compared between the groups after matching for patient background characteristics. In addition, cases of complex segmentectomy were selected from each group and compared in terms of perioperative results. Results: A total of 180 patients underwent pulmonary segmentectomy during the study period at this institution, comprising 57 cases in the U-VATS group and 123 cases in the H/M-VATS group. After matching for age, sex, disease, tumor location, and type of segmentectomy, no significant differences between the groups were seen in blood loss, major intraoperative bleeding, rate of conversion to thoracotomy, postoperative complications, or re-hospitalization within 30 days after discharge. Operation time (141±46 Conclusions: U-VATS segmentectomy appears as safe and feasible as H/M-VATS segmentectomy. An experienced surgeon can make a smooth transition to U-VATS.
