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

backgroundDisplaced anterior segmental bronchus and pulmonary artery is extremely rare. A keen knowledge of such variations is required in the field of pulmonary segmentectomy, for unawareness of the structural variation could lead to intra- and postoperative complications. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old female presented to our department with suspected lung adenocarcinoma. Preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomographic bronchography and angiography revealed anterior segmental bronchus and anterior segmental pulmonary artery variation: the anterior segmental bronchus derived from the middle lobe bronchus, accompanied by a distally distributed anterior segmental pulmonary artery branch. A right apical-posterior segmentectomy using inflation-deflation technique was performed successfully.

conclusionsThe keen observation and proper application of modern imaging technology and operative technique could greatly aid segmentectomy, preventing intra- and postoperative complications from happening.
