The modified Lyon's position: an alternative approach to robotic thymectomy.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The conventional supine position for robotic thymectomy may present challenges in accessing the lower thymic horns, particularly in cases requiring extensive resection of mediastinal fat. To address this issue, the authors advocate for a lateral patient position during the procedure, emphasizing optimized access to the thymic horns and improved procedural efficacy. The lateral approach involves specific trocar placements and port arrangements to minimize conflicts between instruments. This report proposes an innovative approach to robotic thymectomy for patients diagnosed with thymoma or thymic hyperplasia associated with myasthenia gravis.
