Tracheobronchopathia Osteochondroplastica: A Case Report Illustrating the Importance of Multilevel Workup Clinical, Endoscopic and Histological Assessment in Diagnosis of an Uncommon Disease.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2019. 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
BACKGROUND Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) is a rare idiopathic disease with a stable course, which involves the lumen of the tracheobronchial tree. Clinical manifestations at time of presentation may differ, typically including hoarseness, persistent and/or productive cough, hemoptyses, and dyspnea. There are no well-established guidelines for diagnostic workup and treatment. Our aim here is to present a paradigmatic case of TO together with a concise survey of the most important clinical, radiological, and histological criteria. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 62-year-old non-smoker male with persisting cough and no prior history of respiratory disease. Chest radiography (RX) and computed tomography (CT) were unremarkable. Given the persistence of symptoms, the patient underwent bronchoscopic examination, which revealed protruding sessile nodules into the tracheal lumen, with cobblestone appearance. Histopathological examination of biopsies taken during bronchoscopy showed cartilaginous and osseous submucosal nodules consistent with the diagnosis of TO. CONCLUSIONS TO is not always an easily recognized disease, and a multidisciplinary team work is often required for diagnosis, with particular importance of endoscopic-pathological correlation.
