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

A male cadaver, 87 years of age, was received through the Saint Louis University Gift of Body Program. Significant pulmonary vein (PV) variations were observed following routine dissection. The donor displayed two normal left PVs and 10 significantly undersized right PVs. By caliper measurement, the left PVs had long axis diameters of 19 mm and 20 mm, while the right PVs ranged from 1 mm to 11 mm. The total cross-sectional area of the 10 right PVs was 173 mm
