Safety and effectiveness of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery compared to triportal surgery: a single institution experience.
Article in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has increasingly been used in thoracic surgery during the last decade. Aim: To assess the safety and effectiveness of uniportal VATS compared to triportal VATS. Material and methods: Data of a total of 318 patients between 2009 and 2019 who underwent uniportal and triportal VATS were reviewed. Bivariate statistical analysis using Pearson's χ Results: Our data showed statistical differences only in complications and hospital stay between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Uniportal VATS has a safe post-operative outcome and is comparable to triportal VATS.
