Abstract
1- It would have been better to refer to the registration number of the clinical trial conducted in the text of the article. 2- The samples were not sufficient to conduct an RCT and use the Chi-square and T-test tests, and it would have been better to express the significance of the results with doubt. 3- Mixing samples with pleural effusion with patients without it is considered a sampling bias. 4- Comparing the length of hospitalization of patients for the purpose of drawing conclusions is worthless, and it is better to compare the length of hospitalization after thoracoscopy using both methods, although the general condition of the patients and their comorbidities also interfere with the length of hospitalization after thoracoscopy.
