Outcomes After VATS Single Versus Multiple Segmentectomy for cT1N0 Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

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
objectiveThe optimal extent of segmentectomy for clinical T1N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study compared perioperative and oncological outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) single segmentectomy (SS) versus multiple segmentectomy (MS) for tumors ≤ 3 cm.
methodsThis single center study retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients who underwent VATS anatomic segmentectomy for cT1N0 NSCLC between 2017 and 2022. Patient demographics, perioperative outcomes, and survival were compared between SS and MS groups.
resultsIn total, 334 patients underwent pulmonary segmentectomy: single in 211 (63%) and multiple in 123 patients (37%). In the SS group, 83 (39%) were simple and 128 (61%) complex segmentectomies; while in the MS group, 67 (54%) were simple and 56 (46%) were complex. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. SS was associated with shorter operative time (117 vs. 132 min;
conclusionsSS and MS provide equivalent short-term oncological outcomes in cT1N0 NSCLC ≤ 3 cm. SS may be preferred when adequate margins are achievable, offering equivalent oncologic outcomes with better perioperative recovery.
