Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06392984 (Ultrasonographic Measurement of Diaphragmatic Thickness in Adolescents With Pectus Deformity), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

The mediastinum forms the central part of the thoracic cavity that is surrounded by pleural space on the two sides, thoracic vertebrae at the posterior, thoracic inlet on the top, and diaphragm at the bottom. It encompasses cardiopulmonary organs and organ systems. Pathological dysfunction or deformity in any part of the mediastinum can have adverse cardiovascular and respqiratory effects. Pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum are the most common congenital chest deformities that are characterized by sternal depression and protuberance of the sternum, respectively. Together, these account for 90% of chest wall deformities. Patients are known to be represented with respiratory distress and cardiovascular dysfunction. The aim of the review article is to present the anatomical and physiological role of the mediastinum in association with important parts of the thoracic cavity and pathological dysfunction of the mediastinum (cardiopulmonary system) due to pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum.
