ReviewSurgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA2012
A friend to the airways: a review of the emerging clinical importance of the bronchial arterial circulation.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Lungs receive the bulk of their blood supply through the pulmonary arteries. The bronchial arteries, on the other hand, vascularize the bronchi and their surroundings. These two arteries anastomose near the alveolar ducts. Contrary to the pulmonary circulation which is fairly well studied, the bronchial arteries have been appreciated more by their absence, and in some cases, by an interruption in the pulmonary arterial flow. Therefore, a more accurate anatomical and functional knowledge of these atherosclerosis-resistant vessels is needed to help surgeons and clinicians to avoid iatrogenic injuries during pulmonary interventions. In this review, we have revisited the anatomy and pathophysiology of the bronchial arteries in humans, considering the recent advances in imaging techniques. We have also elaborated on the known clinical applications of these arteries in both the pathogenesis and management of common pulmonary conditions.
