Application of tubeless anesthesia for enhanced recovery after thoracoscopic wedge resection of the lung: a randomized 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: The concept of tubeless anesthesia has emerged as a transformative approach in modern anesthesiology, particularly within the framework of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). However, research regarding the application of tubeless anesthesia in the context of thoracoscopic wedge resection remains limited, particularly with respect to comparative studies of different anesthesia techniques, such as the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) combined with various nerve block approaches. This prospective study evaluated the feasibility and safety of tubeless anesthesia in thoracoscopic wedge resection and its impact on rapid postoperative recovery, providing more evidence for clinical practice. Methods: Ninety patients scheduled for thoracoscopic wedge resection were randomized into three groups, with 30 patients in each group: double-lumen endotracheal intubation (Group A), LMA + intercostal nerve block (Group B), and LMA + paravertebral nerve block (Group C). Satisfaction with the surgical field, operation time, hospitalization duration, anesthesia costs, hospitalization costs, postoperative feeding time, and ambulation time were recorded. Intraoperative and postoperative adverse events, perioperative anesthesia-related parameters, hemodynamic variables at five time points [pre-intubation (T0), 3 min post-intubation (T1), at surgery initiation (T2), at surgery completion (T3), and post-extubation (T4)], and arterial blood gas (ABG) indices at four time points [pre-intubation (T0'), 3 min post-intubation (T1'), 45 min post-intubation (T2'), and 1 hour post-surgery (T3')] were analyzed. Results: Compared with Group A, Groups B and C presented significantly shorter postoperative feeding times, earlier ambulation, shorter hospitalization durations, and lower anesthesia/hospitalization costs (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative cough, sore throat, and hoarseness was lower in Groups B and C than in Group A (P<0.05). Compared with those in Group A, the total intubation time, extubation time, and recovery time in Groups B and C were significantly shorter (P<0.05). At T1 and T4, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were lower in Groups B and C than in Group A (P<0.05). At T2 and T3, the end-tidal CO Conclusions: Tubeless anesthesia with preserved spontaneous breathing is safe and effective in selected low-risk patients undergoing short-duration thoracoscopic wedge resection, reducing postoperative complications and promoting enhanced recovery.
