Uni-portal thoracoscopic lymph node dissection under the left prominence: pause ventilation technique.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic 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
techniqueUni-portal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (UVATS) has become a well-established technique; however, performing a complete lymphadenectomy, particularly the removal of lymph nodes located below the left hemithorax (LHLN), remains a challenging procedure. To our knowledge, there are limited reports addressing the use of pause ventilation during UVATS for LHLN dissection. In this study, we propose the application of pause ventilation for facilitating LHLN dissection under UVATS. Through transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE), we innovatively implemented an intermittent apnea technique during surgery, enabling UVATS dissection of the LHLN. This study details the surgical procedure and includes an accompanying operative video.
resultsThe application of pause ventilation can promote LHLN dissection under UVATS.
conclusionsThe use of pause ventilation for LHLN dissection in UVATS appears safe and feasible, providing clear exposure of key surrounding tissues and organs.
