Blood loss and prolonged air leak reduction by applying TenaTac
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveReduction of bleeding and prolonged air leak (>5 days) following major lung resection remains a challenge. Hemostasis and aerostasis devices can facilitate earlier pleural de-drainage and fast-track. Our objectives were to evaluate the efficacy of TenaTac
methodsThis monocentric retrospective case-control study, using prospectively collected data, includes 60 patients who underwent, between 2022 and 2024, minimally invasive robot-assisted lobectomy or segmentectomy: 30 with TenaTac
resultsPatients characteristics, Index of Prolonged Air Leak, and surgical procedures were similar in both groups (NS). TenaTac
conclusionsNumerous hemostatic or aerostatic devices have been previously evaluated without achieving consensus in the prevention of prolonged air leak. As an absorbable, adherent gelatine patch, TenaTac
