Current overview of awake, non-intubated, video-assisted thoracic surgery.
Review in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Awake video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (A-VATS) enables the surgeon to penetrate the tissue via a small incision and with less contact between the lung and atmospheric pressure; postoperative respiratory functions are also less affected than in open surgery. A-VATS is a safer technique than traditional VATS and non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NI-VATS) because it does not require muscle relaxants and sedoanalgesics. In particular, diagnostic VATS for pleural effusions can be easily performed over a single port using only local anaesthetic. Anaesthesia-related risks increase even more for elderly patients and those with severe comorbidities. Although there are long and risky operations in thoracic surgery, general anaesthesia is not required for some thoracic surgery procedures. However, A-VATS is limited to minor procedures. Due to regional anaesthesia and sedation, NI-VATS is a safe and effective method for many indications. The results show that this method can be applied with low mortality and morbidity.
