Double-Lung Transplant With Delayed Nuss Bar Prostheses for Pectus Excavatum Deformity.
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
Severe pectus excavatum and prior talc pleurodesis are traditionally considered relative contraindications to lung transplantation. A 36-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pectus excavatum with a Haller Index of 6.7, and prior bilateral talc pleurodesis underwent successful bilateral lung transplantation. Chest closure was delayed due to right heart compression. On postoperative day 6, staged chest wall reconstruction with 2 Nuss bars was performed. She recovered without complications, was discharged on day 70, and remains off oxygen 910 days after transplant. With multidisciplinary planning and staged reconstruction, lung transplantation is feasible in select patients with complex chest wall pathology.
