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
Introduction: Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a spectrum of cystic lung lesions caused by abnormal fetal airway development. It presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to variable manifestations and potential complications. Surgical management aims to balance complete lesion removal with lung function preservation. This report highlights a rare case of CPAM coexisting with pectus carinatum, emphasizing individualized surgical planning. Case Presentation: An 11-year-old boy, prenatally diagnosed with right lung CPAM, was asymptomatic until imaging revealed a large (10 × 8.7 × 9 cm), multiseptated cystic lesion in the right lower lobe consistent with Stocker-type I CPAM. Physical examination showed symmetric pectus carinatum (PC) without cardiopulmonary compromise. Pulmonary function tests indicated mild restrictive lung disease. The patient underwent right posterolateral thoracotomy with wedge resection of basal lung segments, preserving lung parenchyma. Histopathology confirmed CPAM. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence or complications during 44 weeks of follow-up. The PC showed favorable response to the orthotic treatment. Conclusion: Wedge resection is a safe, effective alternative to lobectomy in selected older children with localized CPAM. Long-term follow-up with pulmonary function tests and imaging is essential. The rare association of CPAM with PC expands related anomalies and emphasizes the need for individualized, multidisciplinary management.
