An applied anatomical study of bronchial artery.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The aim of this study was to reveal the external features of the bronchial artery (BA) system, so as to provide morphological basis for clinic. The BAs in 48 adult cadavers were dissected and analyzed. The number of BAs in 48 cases was 118. The incidence of BA arising from thoracic aorta, right posterior intercostal artery, and right subclavian artery was 69.49, 27.12, and 3.39%, respectively. The origin of BAs in individual specimen might be single, two, or all of them, respectively. According to the different origin and/or origins of BAs, it could be divided into five categories. As for the course of BAs, in this study, all the left BAs arising from thoracic aorta passed forward around the left side of esophagus and then entered left pulmonary hilum; most (n = 15) of the right BAs arising from thoracic aorta passed forward around the left side of esophagus and then entered right pulmonary hilum; a few (n = 8) of the right BAs arising from thoracic passed forward the right side of esophagus and bronchus and then entered right pulmonary hilum. Besides, in our group, the special courses were that right intercostal-bronchial trunk (RICBT) arising from thoracic aorta passed between vertebra and esophagus and gave off BA which curved forward around the right side of esophagus and then entered right pulmonary hilum, common bronchial trunk (CBT) arising from thoracic aorta passed forward around the left side of esophagus laying anterior to bronchus or posterior to bronchus, then dividing into a left and a right BAs entering right and left pulmonary hilum, respectively. In 4 cadavers, the RICBT gave off the radiculomedullary artery and BA in turn, so radiculomedullary artery has the same origin with BA. Of all BAs, the mean diameter of right posterior intercostal artery, CBT, left BA, and right BA was 2.17 ± 0.84, 1.79 ± 0.57, 1.44 ± 0.50, and 1.39 ± 0.38 mm, respectively. The information gained from this study will be of value in clinic application.
