Diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis: A rare case report in an adult.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
rationaleDiffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatos (DPL) is a rare aggressive lymphatic disorder characterized by proliferation of anastomozing lymphatic vessels and extremely rare in adult patients. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis in 59-year-old man presented with cough and sputum for 2 months. DIAGNOSES: Combining clinical manifestations with results of radiological, bronchoscopy, and surgical lung biopsy, it was consistent with the diagnosis of DPL.
interventionsAfter bronchoalveolar lavage and biopsy, symptom of cough got worse suddenly accompanied by excessive chyloptysis. The patient received an emergency surgical intervention and low fat medium chain fat treatment. OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged with a much better health condition. LESSONS: This case report is the oldest patient reported in the English literature, to the best of our knowledge. Serious complications of bronchoscopy should be considered, especially in DPL patients with severely enlarged mediastinum or with thin-walled translucent vesicles under endoscopy.
