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
Background: A sleeve lobectomy is a routine operation in thoracic surgery. However, sleeve lobectomy is not only a complex operation, but also has the risk of anastomotic leakage and stenosis. We used bronchial flap to reconstruct the airway instead of sleeve lobectomy. The above disadvantages can be avoided because the bronchial flap reconstruction airway has no anastomosis. This technique has not previously been reported. This paper discusses the feasibility and safety of reconstructing the bronchus with the pedicle autogenous bronchus flap in lung cancer surgery. Methods: During the operation, when the tumor tissue had invaded ≤1/3 of the circumference of the lobar bronchus, the bronchus wall was removed at least 5 mm away from the tumor, but the contralateral healthy bronchus wall was preserved. The healthy bronchial wall was made into a "tongue-shaped" pedicled autogenous bronchial flap, approximately the size of the bronchial defect, and the flap was turned up or down to repair the root defect of the bronchus. The patients were examined every 3 months after surgery by chest computed tomography (CT) to observe the re-expansion of lung and reconstruction of the bronchus, and analyze the incidence of bronchus stenosis and local recurrence. Results: The lobar bronchus was successfully reconstructed with the pedicled autologous bronchial flap in 45 patients; 36 males and 9 females with an average age of 56.5 years. The diameters of the tumors ranged from 3-12 cm. The pathological examination results showed that the margin of bronchus was negative. There was no perioperative death or bronchopleural fistula. The bronchoscopy showed that the reconstructed bronchus healed well, and no atelectasis or bronchostenosis was found in the follow-up period. Conclusions: This is the first report on the application of the pedicled autogenous bronchial flap being used to reconstruct the airway instead of a sleeve lobectomy in lung cancer surgery. In the radical resection of lung cancer, the operation can simplify the operation process, and reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage or stenosis. The operation is safe and feasible, and should be more widely used.
