Uniportal VATS for Diagnosis and Staging in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Uniportal VATS has become an accepted approach in minimally invasive thoracic surgery since its first report for lobectomy in 2011. Since the initial restrictions in indications, it has been used in almost all procedures, from conventional lobectomies to sublobar resections, bronchial and vascular sleeve procedures and even tracheal and carinal resections. In addition to its use for treatment, it provides an excellent approach for suspicious solitary undiagnosed nodules after bronchoscopic or transthoracic image-guided biopsy. Uniportal VATS is also used as a surgical staging method in NSCLC due to its low invasiveness in terms of chest tube duration, hospital stay and postoperative pain. In this article, we review the evidence of uniportal VATS accuracy for NSCLC diagnosis and staging and provide technical details and recommendations for its safe performance for that purpose.
