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

Background: Single or combined basal segmentectomy (CBS), excluding common basal segmentectomy, is the most difficult of all types of segmentectomies. The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes and oncological prognosis between uniport thoracoscopic basal segmentectomy (UTBS) and triport thoracoscopic basal segmentectomy (TTBS). Methods: This study retrospectively collected 300 patients who underwent thoracoscopic single or CBS at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2015 to May 2022, including 67 and 233 patients in the UTBS and TTBS groups, respectively. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce confounding bias between the two groups. The primary outcome was recurrence-free survival (RFS). The secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and perioperative outcomes. Results: After PSM, the UTBS group (n=64) had significantly less intraoperative blood loss than the TTBS group (n=64) (20 Conclusions: UTBS provided similar perioperative outcomes and oncological prognoses compared to TTBS.
