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

Thoracoscopic segmentectomy might be an alternative to lobectomy for small size lung cancer. Precise identification of the pulmonary intersegmental plane was needed for an optimal segmentectomy. Recently, (1) the ultra-high-definition 4K systems had claimed to overcome the lack of depth perception by secondary visual cues; (2) the no-waiting procedure was induced as an alternative and optimized method for identifying the plane. It was unclear whether combined ultra-high-definition 4K endovision systems with "no-waiting" technique in thoracoscopic segmentectomy could achieve an excellent result. A 68-year-old female patient was admitted into our hospital for occasional pulmonary nodule during her routine physical examination. The nodule is located between S8 and S9 segment, and was suspected to be an early-stage lung cancer. She underwent a thoracoscopic S89 complex segmentectomy using ultra-high-definition 4K endovision systems and "no-waiting" surgical technique. The intersegmental plane was clearly detected and easily treated by the endoscopic linear cutting staplers. The patient recovered well and was discharged without complications. Combining ultra-high-definition 4K endovision systems with "no-waiting" technique seems to be an optimal thoracoscopic segmentectomy approach for the management of lung cancers.
