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
objectiveSurgery for symptomatic congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is uncontroversial. However emergency surgery for neonates with CPAM presented as progressive respiratory distress still carries high risks. This article introduces a new strategy aimed at improving the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
method4 neonates were diagnosed with CPAM with mediastinal shift by prenatal diagnosis and experienced progressive respiratory distress after birth. Insertion of a chest drain in the main cyst of the CPAM was performed as effective interim management to relieve respiratory distress, and delayed thoracoscopic lobectomy was performed after the stabilization.
resultsThoracoscopic lobectomy was successfully performed in all 4 cases. The average operation time was 96.2 min, the mean blood loss volume was 10.0 ml, the postoperative recovery was uneventful, the postoperative ventilatory support time was 2.7 d and the time to postoperative discharge was 14.2 d. No death, pulmonary infection, bleeding, atelectasis, bronchopleural fistula, chylothorax or other postoperative complications occurred. During the follow-up of 6 months to 4 years, there was no respiratory morbidity.
conclusionDelayed thoracoscopic lobectomy for symptomatic CPAM in neonates is safe and effective. Prior to surgery, it is essential to evaluate for possible associated malformations and to achieve preoperative stabilization by transthoracic drainage of the main cyst to relieve respiratory distress.
