Unilateral Hyperlucent Lung Syndrome (Swyer-James-Macleod Syndrome) Managed by Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short 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
We present a case of a 51-year-old woman whose lung volume reduction surgery for left-sided Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was converted to total pneumonectomy as a result of fragility of the diseased left lung. The patient was discharged on room air in a significantly improved condition. Only a few cases of this rare disease have been reported where an older patient underwent pneumonectomy. When video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery bullectomy is not a viable option, total pneumonectomy can be safely performed and can lead to significant improvement in symptoms and supplemental oxygen requirement even in older patients.
