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
Background: Management of the intersegmental plane (ISP) remains a challenge in lung segmentectomy to minimize intra- or postoperative complications and damage to the lungs. The purpose of this study was to assess the novel method's clinical feasibility and safety for segmentectomy. Methods: A total of 205 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy from May 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. We classified the patients into two groups according to the surgical procedure: the Inserted Multilateral Cutting Method (IMCM) group and the non-IMCM group using staplers or energy instruments to manage the ISPs. The operative characteristics and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: All patients in the two groups underwent VATS segmentectomy with free margins. There were no significant differences in clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups. Compared with the non-IMCM group, the IMCM group was significantly associated with less intraoperative blood loss (85.5±64.3 Conclusions: The IMCM during VATS segmentectomy showed excellent feasibility and safety and is worthy of popularization and application.
