Air leakage directly into dissected upper mediastinum following right upper lobectomy.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Postoperative subcutaneous emphysema (SE) can sometimes lead to clinical complications, mainly due to abnormal air leakage (AL) into the chest wall through the surgically breached parietal pleura. In this report, we describe a patient who, following a right upper lobectomy and upper mediastinal dissection, developed progressive mediastinal and SE on postoperative day 6, which persisted despite thoracostomy. Reoperation indicated AL from the resected interlobular plane directly into the upper mediastinum through dense adhesions. These adhesions were released, and the leakage site was re-sealed. Subsequently, the emphysema regressed. This report presents a unique route of airflow that may occur especially following right upper lobectomy, highlighting the importance of surgical treatment and AL prevention strategies in such cases.
