Mediastinal basal pulmonary artery identification and classification by three-dimensional reconstruction.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2022. 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
purposeThe primary objective of the present study was to use CT angiography and 3D reconstruction to assess and to classify the mediastinal pulmonary basal segmental arteries.
methodsWe report a particular type of bifurcated left lower pulmonary artery, namely, the "mediastinal basal pulmonary artery" type, which is the first branch from the proximal the left pulmonary artery (LPA) between the left main bronchus (LMB) and the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) and proceeding directly into the lower lobe. There are many types of mediastinal basal pulmonary arteries, and these can be classified worldwide in a unified way and format, which will be beneficial for clinical records, annotation and academic exchange.
resultsThe mediastinal basal pulmonary arteries are described either as "supernumerary" when duplicating or "displaced" when replacing the normal arterial branching pattern of the lower lobe. The displaced type is more frequent than the supernumerary type. There are 12 types of left mediastinal basilar arteries.
conclusionThis is the first report to categorize the mediastinal basal pulmonary artery, is the first to suggest a system for mediastinal basal pulmonary artery nomenclature, and creates simplified models for use when planning anatomical segmentectomy. Knowledge and recognition of this rare and special condition may facilitate better diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
