Recurrent croup in a young child: look beyond airways disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We reported here a boy aged 5 years who presented for the evaluation of recurrent croup since infancy. On chest examination, breath sounds were reduced throughout the right lung field with a shifting of the trachea and cardiac apex to the right side. The chest radiograph showed a small right lung with decreased vascularity, hyperinflated left lung and mediastinum shifted towards the right side. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed tracheomalacia with left bronchomalacia due to external pulsatile compression. In CT angiogram, the right pulmonary artery (PA) was absent with dilated left PA. Echocardiography did not show any features of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Since the child was growing well, and there was no limitation of activity and evidence of PAH, he was managed conservatively and kept on follow-up. Though unilateral absent PA is a rare condition, it should be suspected in children with unilateral hypoplastic lung.
