Intralobar pulmonary sequestration with bronchogenic cyst: a case report.
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
Intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS) with concurrent bronchogenic cyst represents a rare congenital malformation often diagnosed incidentally. We present a 48-year-old asymptomatic female whose routine Computed Tomography (CT) revealed a left lower lobe mass with aberrant systemic arterial supply (thoracic aortic branch) and a separate mediastinal cyst. Thoracoscopic resection confirmed ILS (48.11 mm × 37.45 mm solid-cystic lesion with vascular anomalies) and bronchogenic cyst (27.91mm × 24.16 mm). This case demonstrates three critical findings: (i) Contrast-enhanced CT with vascular reconstruction is diagnostic, clearly identifying the pathognomonic feeding vessel; (ii) Minimally invasive resection is feasible despite anatomical complexity, requiring meticulous vascular control; (iii) Asymptomatic presentations warrant intervention to prevent future complications. The coexistence of these embryologically related anomalies underscores the need for comprehensive imaging to detect associated malformations. Histopathology confirmed both diagnoses without malignancy. The patient recovered uneventfully, supporting thoracoscopic management as the therapeutic standard. This report emphasizes early surgical consideration even in asymptomatic cases, guided by characteristic radiologic findings.
