Unilateral absent pulmonary artery in an adult - A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Unilateral absent pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a congenital abnormality rarely diagnosed in adults. UAPA has a myriad of clinical presentations and pulmonary hypertension is present in a quarter of all cases. Isolated UAPA commonly affects the right pulmonary artery and occurs as a result of abnormal development of the sixth aortic arch segment. Due to its rarity, it remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We describe a case of UAPA in an adult presenting with severe pulmonary hypertension. We describe the appropriate diagnostic approach to a patient with pulmonary hypertension and illustrate the importance of a detailed evaluation to determine the underlying aetiology, particularly in rare causes. Furthermore, we review the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management challenges of UAPA in adults.
