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 AND

aimsThe transmanubrial approach (TMA) provides excellent exposure of the cervical-thoracic border area, allowing for the resection of thoracic outlet structures while preserving the clavicle, avoiding muscle sacrifice, and maintaining full shoulder mobility.

methodsThis report presents the first instance of TMA being utilized for oligometastatic, extranodal extension-positive lymph node dissection en bloc with partial resection of the common carotid artery and trachea following esophagectomy. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: We describe the surgical technique with illustrated explanations.
