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

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is becoming more common in pediatric congenital heart disease operation, yet its complications remain incompletely defined. We report a case of right upper and middle lobe torsion-a rare surgical complication-in a 4-year-old boy after MICS for ventricular septal defect. The torsion was discovered 1 week postoperatively while his respiratory and hemodynamic status remained relatively stable. Semiemergent resection of the twisted lobes was performed, and the patient recovered uneventfully. This case identifies lung torsion as a possible complication of MICS and illustrates the value of timely monitoring and intervention.
