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
introductionCongenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental anomaly of the fetal tracheobronchial tree. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for CPAM. However, surgery for adult CPAM presents unique challenges due to the potential for severe pleural adhesions, increased risks of excessive blood loss, and prolonged surgical time. This report describes an adult case of CPAM managed with preoperative arterial embolization. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old male underwent a right lower lobectomy for CPAM with the aid of preoperative arterial embolization. Due to the prolonged course of CPAM, significant pleural adhesions and feeding arteries from the intercostal and phrenic arteries were anticipated. Preoperative embolization of the feeding arteries was performed to minimize the intraoperative bleeding. This approach allowed safe surgical resection with minimal blood loss and no postoperative complications.
conclusionsThis case highlights the utility of preoperative arterial embolization in the management of complex CPAM in adults.
