Robotic-Assisted Muscle-Sparing Chest Wall Resection Without Thoracotomy: Tips and Benefits for Lung Cancer Patients With Chest Wall Invasion.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This report describes our technical methods of robotic-assisted chest wall resection concomitant with lobectomy, which did not require the division of major extrathoracic muscles and spreading of the ribs. In both cases, the patients were able to raise their arms on the affected side immediately after surgery, without any shoulder dysfunction. This robotic-assisted muscle-sparing chest wall resection without thoracotomy technique enables preservation of the extrathoracic muscles and allows patients to maintain their quality of life, thus making it possible for patients to promptly receive adjuvant therapy.
