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
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) has gained increasing recognition as a minimally invasive alternative to multiportal VATS (M-VATS), offering significant advantages such as reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications. While U-VATS has been successfully applied to complex segmentectomies, its technical demands necessitate advanced surgical skills, meticulous preoperative planning, and precise intraoperative management to ensure safe and effective outcomes. This article presents our institution's approach to performing complex segmentectomy using U-VATS, with a focus on key aspects such as preoperative imaging, anatomical considerations, intraoperative strategies, and technical refinements. By illustrating these techniques through a representative case of U-VATS right S1b + S3 segmentectomy, we provide practical insights into optimizing surgical outcomes and overcoming common technical challenges. Compared to previously published reports, this study offers a more detailed account of essential procedural nuances, including methods for securing adequate surgical margins, stabilizing the intersegmental plane, and efficiently handling the limited instrument maneuverability inherent to U-VATS. Additionally, we discuss the learning curve, technical prerequisites, and potential strategies for facilitating the broader adoption of U-VATS complex segmentectomy. We hope that this report serves as a valuable reference for thoracic surgeons seeking to refine their expertise in U-VATS and contributes to the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
