Treatment of air leakage using the VIO soft coagulation system: a mouse pulmonary air leak model.
Article in Surgery today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeWe aimed to compare the efficacy of the VIO soft coagulation system (VSCS) for the treatment of air leaks by sealing with fibrin glue, and also assess the histological alterations that occur after soft coagulation.
methodsA mouse pulmonary air leak model was designed. The pulmonary fistula was subsequently coagulated with the VSCS or sealed with fibrin glue with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets. The burst pressure at air leak recurrence was measured in each group, and the results were compared. We also evaluated the histological alterations in the mouse pulmonary air leak model after soft coagulation with the VSCS.
resultsThe burst pressure in the soft coagulation group (80 W/Effect 5) (median 42.8; range 35.4-53.8 cmH
conclusionsThe pressure resistance following soft coagulation was equivalent to that after sealing using fibrin glue with PGA sheets. The air leaks were likely controlled by covering the fistula with a fibrin membrane after soft coagulation with the VSCS.
