A Robotic Left Lower Lobe Sleeve Lobectomy With Bronchoplasty Using the Fissureless Technique After Neoadjuvant Immunochemotherapy.

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
Robotic bronchoplastic procedures offer technical advantages over thoracoscopy, particularly in complex situations involving dense fissures or posttreatment fibrosis. We describe a 60-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma who underwent robotic left lower lobe sleeve lobectomy with bronchoplasty by the fissureless technique after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. Preoperative imaging showed tumor regression and an incomplete fissure, with bronchoscopy confirming left main bronchial invasion. The robotic platform enabled precise dissection and anastomosis with continuous barbed suturing. The postoperative course was uneventful, and pathologic examination revealed ypT1c N2b M0 disease. This case demonstrates the feasibility of integrating the fissureless technique into complex robotic bronchoplastic surgery.
