Abnormal arterial ligation alone for patients with anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung: three case series.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAnomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung is a rare congenital pulmonary vascular malformation, historically classified as a variant of intra-lobar pulmonary sequestration. The standard surgical approach has typically involved ligation of the anomalous artery in combination with lobectomy or segmentectomy. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present three cases of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung, all successfully treated with thoracoscopic anomalous arterial ligation alone. In one case, indocyanine green was used to assess the blood supply, enhancing procedural safety.
conclusionThoracoscopic ligation of the anomalous artery alone may be a safe and lung-preserving surgical option for patients with this rare anomaly. The use of indocyanine green can further improve the safety of the procedure.
