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
Performing a pulmonary segmentectomy is a complex process, with precise localization of pulmonary nodules and recognition of intraoperative anatomical variations posing significant challenges. This study aims to assess the advantages of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction (3D-RE) in thoracoscopic segmentectomy. The study, at Fujian Medical University Cancer Hospital, analyzed data from segmentectomy patients from January 2016 to February 2022. It compared 3D-RE and two-dimensional computed tomography (2D-CT) preoperative scans, focusing on perioperative complications within30 days to identify any differences. This investigation encompassed a total of 265 instances, with 148 belonging to the 3D-RE group and 117 aligned with the 2D-CT group. The 3D-RE group showed reduced intraoperative blood loss and shorter postoperative hospital stays (P < 0.001). They also had higher rates of lymph node sampling and combined subsegmentectomy and segmentectomy procedures (P < 0.01). Postoperative complications, particularly pneumonia and lung fistula, were lower in the 3D-RE group (P = 0.041). The rates of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) were significantly higher in the 3D-RE group, while adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and benign cases were less common (P = 0.006). Surgical duration, chest tube duration, chest drainage volume, surgery complexity, and pathological diagnoses showed no significant differences between the groups. Utilization of preoperative 3D-RE holds potential to minimize both intraoperative and postoperative complications, thereby enhancing the safety and feasibility of undertaking segmentectomy procedures.
