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
backgroundOur objective was to explore the treatment preferences for bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) among an international group of specialized caregivers.
methodsSixty-three participants from 17 countries completed an online survey concerning the diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up. Recruitment took place among members of the Collaborative Neonatal Network for the first European Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation Trial Consortium and through the Association for European Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology working group database.
resultsMost of the 63 participants were pediatric surgeons (52%), followed by pediatric pulmonologists (22%), and pediatric cardiologists (19%). The majority (65%) treated more than five cases per year and 52% standardly discussed treatment in a multidisciplinary team. Half of the participants (52%) based the management on the presence of symptoms, versus 32% on the intralobar or extralobar lesion localization. Centers with both surgical and interventional cardiac/radiological facilities (85%) preferred resection to embolization in symptomatic cases (62 vs. 15%). In asymptomatic cases too, resection was preferred over embolization (38 vs. 9%); 32% preferred noninterventional treatment, while 11% varied in preference. These treatment preferences were significantly different between surgeons and nonsurgeons (
conclusionsThis survey demonstrates a variation in management strategies of BPS, reflecting different specialist expertise. Most centers treat only a handful of cases per year and follow-up is not standardized. Therefore, management discussion within a multidisciplinary team is recommended. Recording patient data in an international registry for the comparison of management strategies and outcomes could support the development of future guidelines. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
