Bronchogenic cysts: a narrative review.
Review in Mediastinum (Hong Kong, China), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Background and Objective: Bronchogenic cysts represent a rare form of cystic malformation of the respiratory tract. Primarily located in the mediastinum if occurring early in gestation as opposed to the thoracic cavity if arising later in development. However, they can arise from any site along the foregut. They exhibit a variety of clinical and radiologic presentations, representing a diagnostic challenge, especially in areas with endemic hydatid disease. Endoscopic drainage has emerged as a diagnostic and potentially therapeutic option but has been complicated by reports of infection. Surgical excision remains the standard of care allowing for symptomatic resolution and definitive diagnosis via pathologic examination; minimally invasive approaches such as robotic and thoracoscopic approaches aiding treatment. Following complete resection, prognosis is excellent with essentially no recurrence. Methods: A review of the available electronic literature was performed from 1975 through 2022, using PubMed and Google Scholar, with an emphasis on more recent series. We included all retrospective series and case reports. A single author identified the studies, and all authors reviewed the selection until there was a consensus on which studies to include. Key Content and Findings: The literature consisted of relatively small series, mixed between adult and pediatric patients, and the consensus remains that all symptomatic lesions should be excised via minimally invasive approach where feasible. Conclusions: Surgical excision of symptomatic bronchogenic cysts remains the gold standard, with endoscopic drainage being reserved for diagnosis or as a temporizing measure in clinically unstable patients.
