Right upper lobe segmentectomy guided by simplified anatomic models.
Article in JTCVS techniques, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundTo standardize the technical strategy for right upper lobe (RUL) segmentectomy, we previously developed simplified 3-dimensional (3D) anatomic models that classify the RUL anatomy into 14 patterns according to the branching pattern of bronchi and veins. We aimed to study the surgical outcome of RUL segmentectomy guided by these simplified anatomic models.
methodsPatients were classified into the anatomic models, and the approach to the intersegmental veins was selected accordingly. The intersegmental vein and corresponding intersegmental plane were as follows: V
resultsThirty-four consecutive patients who underwent thoracoscopic RUL segmentectomy guided by simplified anatomic models between January 2016 and December 2019 at Gunma University were analyzed. All the patients were classified into a model: anterior + central Iab type (47%), anterior + central Ib type (41%), anterior II type (12%), or central III type (0%). The standard approaches to intersegmental veins were an anterior approach for V
conclusionsSegmentectomy guided by simplified anatomic models promotes anatomic classification, development of a standardized approach for segmental vein identification, and acceptable outcomes, which can facilitate the implementation of RUL segmentectomy.
