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

Background: This article reports a case of a intralobar pulmonary sequestration (IPS) with a significantly large feeding artery aneurysm and shares the successful treatment experience. Case presentation: A male was diagnosed with IPS combined with a feeding artery aneurysm approximately 74 mm × 61 mm in nine years ago but refused thoracotomy at that time. The patient presented this time due to an infection, and a CT scan revealed a significant increase in the lesion size to approximately 123 mm × 100 mm. After controlling the pulmonary inflammation, the patient underwent thoracoscopic ligation of the supplying artery, followed by an open chest excision of the sequestrated pulmonary aneurysm and left lower lobectomy, and the recovery post-surgery was very good. Conclusion: When a sequestrated lung enlarges significantly, it is crucial to consider not only the conventional possibility of malignancy but also the rare coexistence of aneurysms. Thoracoscopic ligation of the supplying artery followed by open chest surgery is an effective treatment approach for IPS combined with a large feeding artery aneurysm.
