A rare cause of airway obstruction: Mediastinal cyst secondarily infected with
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Mediastinal cysts are mostly congenital, but rarely, infections and malignancies can cause cystic degeneration of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. Diagnosis is challenging as the presenting symptoms are nonspecific. Surgical resection is the reference modality both for diagnosis and management. Secondary infection of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is rare. Herein, we describe a young male who was managed as bronchial asthma with inhalational bronchodilators and glucocorticoids. Computed tomography revealed a cystic lesion in the subcarinal region. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration was done to perform diagnostic and therapeutic aspiration of the cyst that showed infection with M. tuberculosis. A subsequent surgical resection confirmed the cystic lesion to be a bronchogenic cyst.
