Short-term outcomes of uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery anatomic pulmonary resections: experience of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital.
Article in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: To share our experience of uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (U-RATS) anatomic pulmonary resection. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to compare the efficacy of U-RATS and biportal-RATS (B-RATS; 2 ports). From March 2021 to June 2022, 109 patients were enrolled in this study. The perioperative results of U-RATS and B-RATS were compared. Results: Perioperative outcomes were comparable between the two groups, including the length of hospital stay and the rate of post-operative (post-op) complications. The mean duration of surgery of the two groups were 124.1 Conclusions: Both U-RATS and B-RATS are safe and feasible methods for major pulmonary resections. U-RATS achieved similar perioperative outcomes and lower VAS-scores for the patients, which may improve the post-op experience and the quality of patients' lives. Further follow-up investigations are required to evaluate the long-term efficacy of U-RATS.
