Surgical techniques for thoracoscopic secondary carinal reconstruction with stepwise barbed sutures.

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
Parenchymal-preserving surgery is the preferred technique for selected patients with centrally located airway tumors limited to the secondary carina; however, reconstruction is challenging. We present a simplified video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery technique for secondary carinal reconstruction with three barbed sutures on each side. In each patient, the first thread was used to approximate the main bronchus and lower lobe bronchus on the left side or the bronchus intermedius and upper lobe bronchus on the right side. A horizontal mattress suture was critical to secure the backward joint section of the three bronchi with the second barbed thread. Finally, several interrupted stitches were used to finish the anastomosis following the third barbed suture. The method described here offers a feasible and reproducible option for complex airway reconstruction with a minimally invasive approach.
