Double-lumen tubes verus single-lumen tube in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery: a randomised, controlled clinical trial.

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: One-lung ventilation (OLV) with double-lumen tubes (DLT) are prone to complications such as airway injury and hypoxemia. It is not clear whether a two-lung ventilation (TLV) with single-lumen tube (SLT) is beneficial for patients undergoing totally endoscopic cardiac valve surgery (TECVS). Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, single-centre, single-blinded randomised controlled trial. Patients (aged ≥18 years) who underwent total endoscopic cardiac valve surgery were randomly assigned to a DLT group or a SLT group. A two-week telephone follow-up was conducted. The oxygenation index (PaO Results: A total of 220 patients were randomly assigned. After randomisation, 20 patients were excluded, leaving 100 patients in each of the two groups. The PaO Conclusions: Two-lung ventilation with single-lumen tube is easy to perform, significantly increases oxygenation, and decreases the incidence of postoperative complications and airway injuries. Advantages remain especially for patients with preoperative pulmonary dysfunction. Clinical Trial Registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=165709, identifier [ChiCTR2200066822].
