Coexistent sarcoidosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis in a patient with cystic lung disease.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 45-year-old lady presented acutely with pleuritic chest pain, haemoptysis, and dyspnoea. Her background was significant for a 1.4 cm renal angiomyolipoma, and she was an ex-smoker without any relevant family history. A computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiogram was negative for a pulmonary embolism but demonstrated diffuse cystic change throughout both lungs. A bronchoscopy confirmed a normal endobronchial tree, and pulmonary function tests demonstrated moderate airways obstruction, with reversibility and a normal diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). A video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lung biopsy showed non-caseating granulomas, and serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) was elevated consistent with a diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Further sectioning indicated focal areas that stained positive for Human Melanoma Black 45 (HMB-45), confirming lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). A diagnosis of cystic lung disease secondary to coexistent sarcoidosis and LAM was made.
