A Case of Lung Volume Reduction Surgery in a Young Adult With Chronic Lung Disease.

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
Chronic lung disease, characterised by impaired development and/or fibrotic changes in the lungs of preterm neonates, results in lifelong consequences that affect respiratory well-being. An 18-year-old male with chronic lung disease presented with shortness of breath upon exertion. Computed tomography revealed bilateral emphysema and a large bulla in the left lower lobe. Additionally, severe obstructive ventilatory impairment was observed and respiratory rehabilitation was ineffective in improving lung function. We performed lung volume reduction surgery on the left lower lobe, resulting in improved ventilatory function and exercise capability. This case shows that emphysematous changes in patients with chronic lung disease can be successfully treated with surgery.
