Observation of bronchial anatomy and variation of the middle lobe of the right lung based on three-dimensional reconstruction of lung CT.

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
purposeTo explore the anatomical types and variations of lung segments and subsegment bronchi based on CT 3D reconstruction technology, and to provide anatomical theoretical support for thoracic surgeons in terms of surgical techniques.
methodsThe 3D CT reconstructed images of 541 patients were retrospectively analyzed. We explored the anatomical structure of the bronchi in the middle lobe of the right lung, sorted out the variations, and classified them in detail according to different bronchial types.
resultsIn the CT 3D reconstruction of 541 patients, the bronchial anatomical types of the right middle lobe were divided into two types. There were 530 cases (98.0%) of two-branched type and 11 cases (2.0%) of three-branched type, and no four-branched type was found in the data of this paper. In addition, the spatial relationship between B
conclusionWe used a large number of CT 3D reconstructed images to explore the anatomical types and variations of the bronchi in the middle lobe of the right lung. Thoracic surgeons can use our data to guide increasingly delicate lobectomy and segmentectomy.
