Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery: segmentectomy versus lobectomy-early outcomes.
Article in European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivesTo assess the feasibility and safety of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy compared with lobectomy by studying early postoperative outcomes.
methodsWe included all patients who underwent uniportal segmentectomy and lobectomy between 2017 and 2022 at Karolinska University Hospital. Early clinical outcomes were compared between the uniportal segmentectomy and lobectomy groups. Differences in baseline characteristics were addressed using inverse probability of treatment weighting.
resultsA total of 833 patients (232 segmentectomy, 601 lobectomy) were included. The number of uniportal operations increased during the study period. Patients in the segmentectomy and lobectomy groups, respectively, had stage I lung cancer in 65% and 43% of the cases; 97% and 94% had no postoperative complications, the median number of lymph node stations sampled was 4 vs 5, and non-radical microscopic resection occurred in 1.7% vs 1.8%. The drains were removed on postoperative day 1 in 75% vs 72% of the patients following segmentectomy and lobectomy, respectively, and 90% vs 89% were discharged directly home.
conclusionsUniportal video-assisted segmentectomy was performed with similar early postoperative clinical results compared with uniportal lobectomy in patients with benign, metastatic or early-stage lung cancer.
