Analysis of risk factors for prolonged postoperative chest tube drainage after uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery pulmonary resection.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Objective: This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for Prolonged Postoperative Chest Tube Drainage (PPCTD) in patients undergoing uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) pulmonary resection. Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted involving 185 patients who underwent uniportal VATS pulmonary resection between January 2022 and December 2024. Patients were categorized into a prolonged drainage group (>7 days, Results: Multivariate analysis identified five independent risk factors for PPCTD: deep nodule resection (OR = 6.625, 95% CI: 2.512-17.469, Conclusion: Deep nodule resection, impaired pulmonary function (FEV1% < 70%), extensive stapler use (≥4 cartridges), significant intraoperative blood loss (≥250 mL), and preoperative anemia are significant independent risk factors for PPCTD following uniportal VATS pulmonary resection. These findings highlight potential targets for preoperative optimization and refined surgical technique. However, the derived predictive model requires external validation in independent cohorts before it can be considered for routine clinical use.
