Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Data remains limited as to whether the order of pulmonary vessel division during performance of a lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affects survival outcomes. Some authors have suggested that ligation of the pulmonary veins should be conducted first in order to minimize the spread of tumor cells secondary to manipulation of the lung. This study examines whether there is a difference in outcomes between patients who undergo robotic lobectomies for NSCLC using a vein-first (V-first) Methods: A retrospective review of electronic medical record data was performed for patients who underwent robotic lobectomies from January 2013 to May 2019. Patients were separated into two groups based on the sequence in which the pulmonary vessels were divided: V-first or A-first. Baseline characteristics and postoperative events were recorded and compared between groups using Chi-squared and Student's Results: A total of 374 patients were identified: 94 V-first and 280 A-first patients. There was no significant difference between the V-first and A-first groups with regards to postoperative complications, length of stay, recurrence-free survival, or overall survival. Conclusions: Our study suggests that choosing a V-first
