Breathing With Half a Pulmonary Circuit: Three Cases of Unilateral Pulmonary Artery Agenesis.

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
Unilateral pulmonary artery atresia (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly marked by the absence of one of the pulmonary arteries. This article examines three instances of UPAA, predominantly affecting the right side, although one case involved the left side. Common characteristics included hemoptysis, observed in two patients-one with a chronic history necessitating embolization and another with a mild, recent onset. The third case was identified incidentally during a preoperative evaluation. All cases demonstrated varying degrees of ipsilateral lung volume reduction and associated interstitial changes or fibrosis. UPAA can be asymptomatic or present with hemoptysis, recurrent infections, or breathlessness. Diagnosis relies on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) or magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. Management ranges from observation to embolization or pneumonectomy in severe cases. Mortality is around 7%, with pulmonary hypertension and haemorrhage being major prognostic factors.
