Efficacy of uniportal versus multiportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer: A retrospective analysis.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: To compare the uniportal and multiportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Medical records of 128 patients with NSCLC who underwent surgical treatment in the First School of Clinical Medicine, Southern Medical University from August 2020 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 60 patients who underwent uniportal VATS (UVATS group) and 68 patients underwent multiportal VATS (MVATS group). The relevant indexes, complications, postoperative pain levels and quality of life, recurrence, metastases and survival between the two groups were compared. Results: UVATS was associated with longer operation time and higher intraoperative blood loss compared to MVATS ( Conclusions: UVATS and MVATS have similar outcomes in patients with NSCLC. Although UVATS surgery takes longer and is associated with more interoperative bleeding, it can reduce postoperative pain, shorten postoperative recovery time, and help further improve the quality of life of patients after surgery.
