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

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy is an optimal treatment for malignant pulmonary ground glass nodules (GGNs). However, this surgery is complicated when tumors are located between more than two adjacent segments, although combined subsegmentectomy ensures sufficient margin under uniportal approach. Lobectomy might be inevitable, especially when resecting deep nodules in the central left upper lung lobe. Here, we present cases wherein we performed uniportal VATS (UVATS) resection for GGNs located between borders of left S3 and S4, with three-dimensional reconstruction conducted before surgery. The strategy of resecting central tumors in the left upper lung lobe between left S3 and S4 via UVATS is simple and feasible.
