Advances in the use of non-intubated spontaneous-ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
With the advancement of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery has gained widespread clinical adoption owing to its reduced trauma and faster recovery compared to traditional open chest procedures. Thoracoscopic surgery has evolved from initial three-port and two-port techniques to single-port non-intubated approaches, which preserve spontaneous breathing while minimizing trauma and accelerating recovery. NIVATS represents a groundbreaking advancement in thoracic surgery and anesthesia by innovatively avoiding endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, thereby challenging conventional surgical approaches. This paper reviews the research progress on the anesthesia techniques, indications, and contraindications of Non-Intubated Spontaneous-Ventilation Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (NIVATS), discussing its advantages compared to traditional surgical methods, its application in thoracic diseases, as well as the risks and management of NIVATS.
