Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Overview, Indications, and Techniques.
Review in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Twenty years have passed since uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was first reported. Several reports have already proven the minimal invasiveness of uniportal VATS. In addition, two large clinical trials recently demonstrated the benefits of segmentectomy for small peripheral early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Uniportal VATS segmentectomy is considered the most beneficial minimally invasive surgery for patients with early-stage lung cancer. However, a high level of skill and experience are required to achieve this goal. Only a few reports have discussed specific techniques, particularly for complex segmentectomies. In this Special Issue, we reviewed previous reports on uniportal VATS segmentectomy regarding the indications, instrument selection, marking of the tumor location, methods of intersegmental plane identification, and lymph node dissection, including our own techniques with video content.
