Different variation of right upper lung apex subsegment.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2026. 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
A 35-year-old female patient presented with a mixed ground-glass nodule located in the right upper lobe of the lung, which led to a suggestion for follow-up in the clinic. After one month, it was noted that the nodule had marginally increased in size, along with an uptick in solid components, which heightened the concern for lung cancer. A three-dimensional reconstruction of the bronchial and vascular structures derived from enhanced CT scans of the chest indicated notable anatomical variations in the upper right segment. The anterior bronchus of the right upper lobe arose from the main bronchus of the right lung, while branches A2a and A2b emerged from the posterior ascending branch of A2, with a lack of any reverse branch from A2. Furthermore, A3 was observed to originate from the right inferior pulmonary trunk, and V3 was noted to be absent.
