Thoracic manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis: Computed tomography findings and analysis of misdiagnosis.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. 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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the computed tomography (CT) manifestations of Wegener granulomatosis (WG) in the chest and potential reasons for misdiagnosis. Conventional CT scans and clinical data of 45 patients with WG were retrospectively analyzed. Patients typically presented with multiple system involvement, primarily in the upper and lower respiratory tract. The incidence of thoracic involvement was 75.56% (34/45). Radiographic features were varied between cases in the present study, with the most common features being numerous cavitary nodules and masses in the lungs. Cavitations were usually irregular, with uneven wall thickness, partial centrality, fuzzy inner edges and piecemeal necrosis. These results indicate that WG typically has multiple system involvement, with the chest being most prominent. Multiple variable-sized cavitary nodules with irregular edges and piecemeal necrosis were the most notable features revealed using CT scanning; however, in order to give a definitive diagnosis, biopsies should be performed.
