Torsed extralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with congenital lobar emphysema: a rare entity.
Article in Therapeutic advances in respiratory disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation, which mainly contains two variants involving extralobar and intralobar sequestrations. Extralobar sequestrations (ELS) are isolated from the remaining lung tissue and have their visceral pleura. Herein, we report the first case of a torsed ELS associated with congenital lobar emphysema. We described a boy who mainly presented with abdominal and chest pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mildly enhanced posterior mediastinal mass with left lower lobar emphysema. Thoracoscopic surgery identified a dark and hemorrhagic mass that was connected to the thoracic aorta by a twisted feeding vessel and had its visceral pleura. Pathological findings were consistent with an ELS that had undergone torsion and infarction. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. For the left lower lobar emphysema, he was required for a regular outpatient follow-up. In conclusion, although extremely rare, physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for torsed ELS when a posterior mediastinal mass with abdominal or chest pain is presented in children.
