Pulmonary bone marrow embolism caused by robot-assisted lobectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case 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
Pulmonary bone marrow embolism is most strongly associated with trauma or chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Embolism associated with robot-assisted lung resection has not been previously reported. A female patient underwent left upper lobectomy with robot-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer. On postoperative Day 3, chest X-ray revealed a fracture on the dorsal side of the eighth rib. Her postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology of the resected lung revealed pulmonary bone marrow embolism. Owing to anatomical limitation in the mobility of the dorsal intercostal rib space, there is a risk of rib fracture by the metallic port of the robot. The path from the skin incision to the intercostal space should be directed straight towards the target anatomy, and attention should be given to the direction of movement of the most dorsal port during surgery to avoid rib fractures.
