Synchronous Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Fissure Closure and Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Using Endobronchial Valves in a Patient with Less Than 20% Fissure Completeness: A Case Report.

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
Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) using endobronchial valves (EBV) is an effective treatment for selected patients with severe emphysema and hyperinflation. However, its success relies on the absence of collateral ventilation (CV), typically requiring complete interlobar fissures. We report a unique case of a single-session combined surgical and ELVR approach in a patient with severe homogeneous emphysema fissure completeness below 20% on the left side.
