Three dimensional reconstruction guided anatomical regional resection versus segmentectomy for congenital pulmonary airway malformation in children.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
objectiveTo compare CT-based three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction-guided anatomical regional resection with segmentectomy in children with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM).
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 127 children treated between July 2023 and March 2025: 59 underwent 3D-guided anatomical regional resection and 68 underwent segmentectomy. Perioperative outcomes were compared; 119 children underwent chest CT at 1 year.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in the characteristics related to the disease such as the type of lesion, the number of involved lung segments, the distribution of involved lung lobes, and the preoperative infection status. Regional resection was associated with shorter chest tube duration (2.2 ± 1.4 vs. 4.1 ± 1.3 days; P < 0.001) and hospital stay (5.0 ± 1.3 vs. 5.5 ± 1.4 days; P = 0.039). Operative time, postoperative complication rates, and CT findings of atelectasis or hyperinflation did not differ significantly. No residual CPAM was detected on 1-year CT in either group among the 119 children imaged.
conclusionIn selected children with CPAM, 3D-guided anatomical regional resection was feasible and was associated with shorter chest tube duration and hospital stay than segmentectomy. Anatomical resection guided by ct three-dimensional reconstruction makes anatomical lesion resection and lung preservation possible in children with CPAM.
