1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionParenchyma-preserving strategies for anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the lung have gained increasing attention. However, pulmonary infarction of the preserved lung has been reported, and clear criteria for selecting the optimal treatment have yet to be established. We report 2 cases in which detailed preoperative imaging informed tailored management-right posterior basal segmentectomy in 1 patient and endovascular embolization of the aberrant artery in the other-both without postoperative complications. A review of the relevant literature is also provided, with an emphasis on potential selection criteria. CASE PRESENTATION:

conclusionsIn patients with anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the lung, when pulmonary arterial branches are preserved and background parenchymal congestion is minimal, parenchyma-sparing approaches should be considered.
