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

backgroundExtended sleeve lobectomy is a useful technique for avoiding pneumonectomy; however, it requires advanced surgical skills. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report the case of a 67-year-old male, who presented with locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma in the left lower lobe and was scheduled to undergo extended sleeve lobectomy (left lower lobectomy + lingulectomy). In order to complete this operation safely, we practiced the procedure on fresh-frozen human cadavers 2 weeks before the surgery. The cadaveric tissue was soft, and the bronchi exhibited comparable fragility to those in the living body. During the actual surgery, the bronchoplasty procedure matched our experience with the cadaver model, and the patient's postoperative course was uneventful.

conclusionsFresh-frozen human cadavers are useful for training surgeons in technically demanding procedures.
