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

Robotic left main bronchial sleeve resection for endobronchial tumors avoids pneumonectomy while preserving the entire ipsilateral lung parenchyma. Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction guides dissection around the pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins, and left atrium, and Firefly fluorescence imaging enables precise intraoperative tumor localization without needle puncture. We hereby describe a patient with a typical carcinoid tumor of the left main bronchus, who successfully underwent a minimally invasive lung -preserving operation to achieve negative surgical margins via a left transthoracic approach.
