Robot-assisted thoracoscopic resection of a posterior mediastinal tumor with preserving the artery of Adamkiewicz.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) provides the major blood supply to the lower two-thirds of the spinal cord. As the AKA typically arises from a left posterior intercostal artery at the levels between 9 and 12th thoracic vertebrae, injury of the AKA during thoracic surgery such as resection of a lower paravertebral tumor may cause serious neurological complications. Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has several advantages over video-assisted thoracic surgery including three-dimensional and high-definition view with high image magnification and reduced restriction in movement of surgical instruments. Here, we present a case of a left paravertebral ganglioneuroma originating from the sympathetic trunk. Whereas both tumor-feeding arteries and the AKA arose from the 9 CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old girl admitted for surgery for a posterior mediastinal tumor. Chest computed tomography showed a well-circumscribed 8.0 cm tumor adjacent to 8-11th thoracic vertebrae and the descending aorta. Contrast-enhanced CT and angiography revealed that the AKA arose from the left 9
conclusionsRATS is a useful surgical approach for removal of a mediastinal tumor with preserving surrounding organs or tissues, such as the AKA.
