Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum in adults: a review article of presentation, workup, and surgical treatment.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Pectus excavatum (Pex) is one of the most common congenital deformities of the chest wall, with pectus constituting 90% of all chest wall deformities and excavatum being reported in almost 1:400 to 1:1,000 live births with predominant occurrence in males up to five times more than in females. Depending on the severity, presentation varies from mild cosmetic complaints to life limiting cardiopulmonary symptoms. Patients may develop symptoms as they age, and these symptoms may worsen over the years. A technique for minimally invasive repair for pectus excavatum (MIRPE) was introduced with the concept of temporarily implanting metal bars to correct the deformity. This has rapidly become the standard of care for the pediatric and adolescent patients. The use of MIRPE in adults, however, has been slower to adopt and more controversial. This is largely due to the increased calcification and rigidity of the chest wall in adults which can make the repair more complex and lead to a higher risk of complications. We present a literature review of the presentation, workup, and surgical treatment of adult patients with Pex undergoing MIRPE. Adult patients can, with advanced preoperative evaluations and technique modifications, undergo a highly successful repair resulting in symptom resolution and satisfying results.
