Specific techniques for right sleeve lower lobectomy: four case reports.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRight sleeve lower lobectomy is rarely performed because pulmonary function of the middle lobe is not spared to the extent of the other lobes and achieving a proper bronchial anastomosis is technically more difficult than other sleeve lobectomies. CASE PRESENTATION: We performed four right sleeve lower lobectomies and had good clinical outcomes using specific technical options, such as telescope anastomosing, pericardiotomy, interlobar dissection between the upper and middle lobes, and angioplasty of the lower pulmonary artery, if needed.
conclusionsThe cases presented herein demonstrated that a right sleeve lower lobectomy is one option by which to preserve the middle lobe using specific techniques and is thus recommended in select patients.
