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 transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach (TMA) is recommended for surgeries involving or originating from the thoracic outlet structures. We present a series of consecutive patients treated from 2014 to 2024 who underwent oncological thoracic outlet surgery for primary or metastatic (non-pulmonary) malignancies. Overall, 33 patients were included. Our procedures resulted in no mortality, seven complications (21.2%) and all surgeries achieved radical (R0) status. In the hands of experienced professionals, the TMA approach proves to be safe and conservative, enabling radical surgery for tumors of the thoracic outlet. For low-grade tumors, it avoids the need for additional combined surgical access, while for high-grade tumors, it allows for more extensive en bloc resection.
