Pregnancy unmasking symptoms of undiagnosed lymphangioleiomyomatosis: Case report and review of literature.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Cystic lung diseases are a group of disorders that appear similar on radiological studies on chest computed tomography. Each disorder is characterized by its own etiology, pathophysiology, course of progression and manifestation. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is one of the cystic lung diseases that can either be hereditary or sporadic. The sporadic form is a rare disease with no accurate prevalence reported but is believed to be less than 10 per million. LAM is associated with inappropriate activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling which regulates cellular growth. The sporadic form is almost confined to premenopausal female population and estrogen is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis. Pregnancy and use of estrogen based oral contraceptives can aggravate symptoms of already existing LAM. Here we describe a case of LAM that was previously treated as asthma and was diagnosed after exacerbation of respiratory symptoms after pregnancy. We offer a review of the medical literature regarding the etiology, clinical course, diagnosis and treatment of LAM.
