1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPulmonary sequestration also known as bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare disease, with very few case series reviewed in literature. In this study, we review the demographics, presentation, imaging and treatment of pulmonary sequestration in 29 patients from our institution, and provide comparison data from previously published series with an overview of the disease history. MATERIALS AND

methodsRecords reviewed for all patients evaluated and treated in our institution with a pathological proven diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration from January 2004 through December 2013. Collected data included demographics, clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, location of the lesion, type of sequestration, and subsequent treatment.

resultsOf the 29 patients reviewed 8 (28%) were children 0-2 years, 1 adolescent age 17, and 20 (69%) adults 21-70 years with a mean age of 42 among adults. Systemic arterial supply to the sequestered segment was demonstrated with computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in 25 patients (86%). In 19 patients (66%), the sequestered segment was located in the left lower lobe, and 16 (55%) were intralobar.

conclusionDiagnostic delays of pulmonary sequestration were common among the adult population as the presenting symptoms often mimicked other common pulmonary diseases, such as pneumonia and asthma. These findings were consistent among previously published series. CTA was the preferred imaging modality for preoperative planning with high sensitivity and specificity in identifying the lesion.
