Pulmonary sequestration in children: a clinical analysis of 48 cases.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of children's pulmonary sequestration (PS) to reduce misdiagnosis.
methodsClinical records of 48 children with PS in Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between April 1994 and April 2013 were retrieved, and the literature was reviewed.
results48 cases were collected, 30 cases confirmed (Group A) and 18 suspicious cases (Group B). In Group A, 16 cases were confirmed before operation by 64-row enhanced CT (4 cases), enhanced CT combined with three-dimensional reconstruction (9 cases), and digital subtraction angiography (3 cases). Misdiagnosis rate was 36.7%, while missed diagnosis rate 10%. 26 cases received surgery and were confirmed finally. Aberrant arterial supply mainly originated from thoracic aorta (22 cases) and abdominal aorta (5 cases). Hypoplasia and chronic inflammation were shown by postoperative histopathological examinations in all children with surgery. There was no operative mortality. Encapsulated pleural effusion occurred in one patient as only post-operation complication. All were discharged after successful treatment.
conclusionChest X-ray and color Doppler ultrasound can be used for routine screening for PS. Technique of choice for confirmation is three-dimensional chest CT. Identifying anomalous systemic artery is key for confirmed diagnosis. Surgery is recommended as early as possible. X-ray plus ultrasound as routine screening combined with three-dimensional CT for definitive diagnosis and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery might be best choice for PS in future.
