Segmentectomy-oriented anatomical model for enhanced precision surgery of the left upper lobe.
Article in JTCVS techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To optimize surgical outcomes and minimize complications in complex segmentectomy of the left upper lobe, we investigated the topographical anatomy of the left upper lobe and developed a segmentectomy-oriented anatomical model. Methods: A state-of-the-art 3-dimensional computed tomography workstation was used to visualize the intersegmental planes and associated veins to categorize the anatomical patterns influencing surgical procedures during left upper lobe segmentectomy. This included the central vein affecting S Results: The central vein was observed in 32% of the patients, necessitating access from the interlobar area after segmental artery and bronchus division. Transverse S Conclusions: This study offers valuable insights into the topographic anatomy of the left upper lobe and presents a segmentectomy-oriented anatomical model for complex segmentectomies. Our approach enables a more precise and individualized surgical planning for patients undergoing segmentectomy based on their unique anatomy, which could thereby lead to improved patient outcomes.
