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: Total tubeless (TT) single-port thoracoscopic wedge resection is a novel minimally invasive surgical technique for treating peripheral pulmonary nodules. This study aims to evaluate its safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction in comparison with partial tubeless (PT) surgery. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 89 patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules, who underwent tubeless single-port thoracoscopic wedge resection at the Department of Thoracic Surgery I, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between July 2023 and September 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of a chest puncture drainage tube: the TT group and the PT group. Results: The TT group consisted of 49 patients with a mean age of 44.16±11.03 years, while the PT group comprised 40 patients with a mean age of 51.33±13.66 years. After 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), 68 patients were analyzed. No significant difference in intraoperative blood loss was observed (10.00±2.13 Conclusions: TT single-port thoracoscopic wedge resection is a safe and effective approach for treating peripheral pulmonary nodules.
