Spontaneous ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for octogenarian non-small cell lung cancer patients: a non-inferiority study.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The benefits of spontaneous ventilation (SV)-video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in octogenarian patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have rarely been reported. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of SV-VATS in octogenarian patients with NSCLC. Methods: Patients with NSCLC aged >80 years who underwent SV-VATS or mechanical ventilation (MV)-VATS between 2017 and 2022 were included in this study. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were balanced by a 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM). Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression. Results: A total of 251 patients were initially included, and after applying selection criteria and PSM, 22 patients were in the SV-VATS group and 44 in the MV-VATS group. Baseline characteristics were well balanced between the two groups. Compared with the MV-VATS group, the SV-VATS group had shorter post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay (88.8±22.3 Conclusions: SV-VATS appears to be a safe and feasible option for octogenarian patients with NSCLC, providing a new approach to surgical treatment. Large-scale prospective studies are required to further validate its feasibility.
