Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Following Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) incidence following minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is rare. We report a case of acute respiratory failure following cardiac surgery that was diagnosed as ARDS. A 77-year-old female patient diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement via a right thoracotomy. The surgery was uneventful, and the patient was extubated on the day of surgery. However, oxygen saturation steadily declined one day postoperatively, and the patient was re-intubated. Chest radiography revealed bilateral heterogeneous infiltrates. After excluding other differential diagnoses, we diagnosed ARDS based on established diagnostic criteria. Inhalation of nitric oxide, methylprednisolone, and Sivelestat were initiated. The patient's respiratory status gradually improved, and she was re-extubated eight days postoperatively. She remained stable in the general ward and was transferred for rehabilitation. Early diagnosis and intervention are key for favorable outcomes in these cases.
