Nonintubated Robotic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 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
We report the application of nonintubated spontaneous ventilation anesthesia (tubeless anesthesia) combined with robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for tracheoesophageal fistula repair. The use of tubeless anesthesia optimized the surgical workflow by eliminating endotracheal intubation interference, thereby improving surgical efficiency and minimizing iatrogenic trauma. robotic-assisted thoracic surgery has distinct advantages in confined spaces (eg, the cervicothoracic junction), such as enhanced visual acuity, superior precision, and greater operational flexibility, thereby effectively mitigating the operative risks associated with mediastinal swing during tubeless procedures. The synergistic integration of tubeless anesthesia and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery was identified as a minimally invasive and efficient strategy for tracheoesophageal fistula repair.
