1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The retrotracheal left pulmonary artery, also known as "left pulmonary artery sling," is a rare vascular malformation in which the left pulmonary artery (LPA) arises from the posterior aspect of the right pulmonary artery (RPA) and reaches the left pulmonary hilum by passing between the trachea and the esophagus, giving rise to the appearance of a sling, hence the name "sling." This vascular anomaly can be associated with other cardiac malformations or abnormalities of the tracheobronchial tree.We present the case of a 4-month-old female infant who presented with laryngeal stridor. She underwent a chest X-ray, which was normal, but thoracic CT angiography revealed an aberrant LPA originating from RPA with a retrotracheal course. This case underscores the critical role of imaging in confirming the diagnosis and guiding patient management.
