Robotic Left Superior and Posterior Basal (S6+S10) Segmentectomy.
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 2 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
When tumor is located in the superior segment of the lower lobe (S6) close to the intersegmental plane with the posterior basal segment (S10), bisegmentectomy of S6 and S10 is oncologically feasible and reasonable to preserve lung parenchyma. However, this bisegmentectomy is technically challenging because of the complex anatomy of S10. Herein, we report a successful case of left S6+S10 segmentectomy by a robotic approach with sufficient surgical margin. A robotic approach is suitable for such a complex segmentectomy of the lower lobe because of the good looking-up high-definition 3-dimensional view.
