Intraoperative Ventilatory Strategies in Patients Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Review in Advances in therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) are commonly used in thoracic surgery, yet postoperative complications still occur in up to 10% of the patients. The aim of our narrative review was to summarize the best available evidence on mechanical ventilation settings, particularly with regard positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection, tidal volume (VT) and ventilation mode, as well as the feasibility of two-lung ventilation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery using VATS or RATS techniques. We searched the MEDLINE/PubMed database using the terms "VATS" or "RATS" and "ventilation" between 1 January 2007 and 1 February 2025. Publications were screened by title or abstract. We discussed studies according to their methodological quality, ventilation mode, as well as the feasibility of two-lung ventilation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery using VATS or RATS techniques. In patients receiving one-lung ventilation (OLV), the application of a protective lung ventilation using an intermediate VT ranged between 5 and 8 ml (mL) of predicted body weight (PBW) and a PEEP of 5-8 cmH
