Port Placement Variations for Robotic Lung Resection: Focusing on Their History, Conventional Look-Up-View and Horizontal Open-Thoracotomy-View Techniques, and More.
Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This is a narrative review that summarizes the variations in approaches and port placements used for performing robotic lung resections on the da Vinci Surgical Platforms. Currently, the four-arm, look-up-view method, in which the intrathoracic cranial side is viewed from the caudal side, is considered the mainstream approach worldwide. Several variations were devised from this conventional technique, including the so-called horizontal open-thoracotomy-view techniques in which the intrathoracic craniocaudal axis is aligned with the horizontal direction of the console monitor, and fewer port and incision techniques. In September 2022, 166 reports were surveyed using a PubMed English literature search, and this review finally included 30 reports describing the approaches. We categorized the variations into four-phase groups considering advent histories: (I) early era, three-arm technique with utility incisions; (II) four-arm, total port technique without robotic staplers; (III) four-arm technique using robotic staplers; (IV) maximizing the functional features of the Xi, significant alterations in viewing directions, and reducing ports, including the ultimate uniport technique. To comprehensibly visualize these variations for practical use, we created elaborate illustrations based on the literature. The familiarity of thoracic surgeons with the variations and characteristics allows them to choose the optimal procedure that best suits each patient and their preferences.
