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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) for bronchial dysplasia in premature infants. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 248 premature infants who were highly suspected to have bronchial dysplasia and were admitted to our hospital from 2015 onwards was conducted. We observed bronchus morphologies, sizes, and tissue characteristics using fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) as the criterion standard for diagnosis. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic compliance of MSCT in the diagnosis of bronchial dysplasia. RESULTS Thoracic computed tomography mainly revealed capsular bubbles. The translucency of the 2 lungs was reduced, and extensive and local ground-glass changes were observed. Imaging findings mostly included strip or honeycomb-like shadows. Pleural thickening and pleural effusion were rare. MSCT was able to establish a diagnosis in 92 cases (37.10%) of bronchopulmonary cysts, 69 cases (27.82%) of congenital pulmonary emphysema, 31 cases (12.50%) of bronchial atresia, 1 case (0.40%) of congenital cystadenoma malformation, and 3 cases (1.21%) of giant tracheal bronchitis. Another 52 children (20.97%) were found to have conventional pulmonary inflammation. The sensitivity of MSCT in the diagnosis of bronchial dysplasia was 88.21%, the specificity was 75.00%, and the diagnostic compliance was 86.29%. There was a significant difference between the MSCT and FB findings in the diagnosis of bronchial hypoplasia (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS MSCT has great utility in the diagnosis of bronchial dysplasia in premature infants and may become an excellent method for diagnosing bronchial dysplasia in the future.
