Identifying the intersegmental plane for segmentectomy using the open insufflation technique.

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
Accurate identification of the intersegmental plane is the key to successful segmentectomy. This case series included 41 patients who underwent uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy using the open insufflation method to identify the intersegmental plane for pulmonary nodules. The median age of the patients was 58 (range 35-73) years, and 63.4% were female. Malignant pulmonary nodules accounted for 80.5% of cases and were staged as 0-IA2. Seventeen patients underwent a single subsegmentectomy or single segmentectomy, and 24 underwent combined subsegmentectomy or subsegmentectomy combined with segmentectomy. There was no conversion to multiportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, open surgery, or lobectomy. The median operative time was 84 (range 45-194) min, and the median blood loss was 50 (range 10-150) ml. The median chest tube duration and postoperative hospital stay were 2 (range 1 - 7) days. One (2.4%) developed an air leak for >5 days. No deaths occurred within 30 days after surgery.
