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

Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery (UAPA) is an uncommon congenital anomaly. Among the rarer conditions, UAPA with lung cancer has been previously reported in 13 cases; however, there remains controversy regarding the surgical approach and precautions. Herein, we present a case study of a 56-year-old female patient who was incidentally diagnosed with a nodule in the right lower lobe of the lung during a routine physical examination and subsequently found to have an absent right pulmonary artery upon preoperative evaluation. A wedge resection of the right lower lobe was performed as treatment. Postoperative pathology confirmed invasive adenocarcinoma (pT1N0M0). We provide a narrative review of existing literature on these patients and discuss optimal surgical management strategies.
