Export priority technique for Uni-portal thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic 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
backgroundFurther explore the safety and feasibility of Uni-portal video assisted thoracoscopic (UVATS) left upper lobectomy by optimizing the treatment of incisions and blood vessels.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 32 patients who underwent UVATS left upper lobectomy and systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection utilizing the Export priority technique between January 2021 and December 2022. We documented perioperative indicators, including surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, the number of lymph nodes dissected, and postoperative pathological staging.
resultsAll surgeries were conducted utilizing the Export priority technique in UVATS. The mean surgical duration was (98.93 ± 14.98) minutes, with an average intraoperative blood loss of (79.53 ± 37.96) ml. The mean count of dissected lymph nodes was (13.96 ± 2.69). The length of hospital Stay averaged (5.62 ± 1.81) days. On the first postoperative day, the thoracic drainage volume was (101.87 ± 49.46) ml. The mean duration of postoperative thoracic tube insertion was (3.1 ± 1.84) days. No occurrences of postoperative hoarseness, pulmonary infection, or complications such as bronchopleural fistula were observed.
conclusionThe application of the Export priority technique improves the safety and feasibility of UVATS left upper lobectomy.
