Partial carinal resection, reconstruction, and left pneumonectomy under median sternotomy combined with cardiopulmonary bypass: 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
backgroundThere is limited clinical data to guide surgical decisions for ACC with extensive carinal involvement in the left main bronchus. In this case, it is shown that median sternotomy and CPB are feasible in this particular anatomical setting. CASE PRESENTATION: Cough and sputum were the presenting symptoms in a middle-aged female patient. Imaging examinations identified a left hilar mass that extended to involve the carina. The surgical intervention performed via a median sternotomy with CPB support encompassed both a left pneumonectomy and partial carinal resection along with reconstruction. Based on postoperative histopathological analysis, the diagnosis was adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC); the tumor staging was determined as pT2bN0Mx, which is equivalent to stage IIA. The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery, and during the 6-month follow-up, no recurrence of the tumor was observed.
conclusionThe case illustrates that complex airway tumors can be resected with R0 margin using median sternotomy and CPB, and verifies the feasibility of surgical treatment for similar surgical cases.
