Evaluation of pulmonary artery bleeding during thoracoscopic pulmonary resection for lung cancer.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundBleeding from the pulmonary artery (PA) can be fatal in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer. We evaluated intraoperative PA injury and assessed precautions for thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary resection.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed a total of 1098 patients who underwent radical surgery for lung cancer utilizing complete VATS from January 2010 to December 2021.
resultsA total of 16 patients (1.5%) had PA injury during VATS, while hemostasis was performed by conversion to thoracotomy in eight patients (50.0%). Although there was a significantly greater operation time and blood loss for patients in the PA injury group (318.4 vs. 264.9 min, p = 0.001; 550.3 vs. 60.5 g, p ≤ 0.001, respectively), there was no significant different for the chest tube insertion duration and length of postoperative hospital stay (4.9 vs. 7.8 days, p = 0.157; 10.6 vs. 9.9 days, p = 0.136, respectively). There was a significant difference observed for the surgical procedure related to the left upper lobectomy in the PA injury group (43.8 vs. 18.8%, p = 0.012), with the primary causative PA determined to be the left anterior segmental PA (A
conclusionsVATS is both feasible and safe for lung cancer treatment provided the surgeon performs appropriate hemostasis, although fatal vascular injury could potentially occur during VATS. Surgeons need to be aware of the pitfalls regarding PA dissection management.
