A Rare Presentation of a Rare Case: Acute Respiratory Failure in Swyer-James-Macleod Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 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
Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome (SJMS) is a rare clinical entity acquired during childhood due to a respiratory infection leading to bronchiolitis obliterans. This inciting event is hypothesized to cause structural and functional changes of the developing alveoli, terminal bronchioles, and the corresponding pulmonary vasculature, resulting in emphysematous changes and a matched ventilation-perfusion defect. We present a 67-year-old male patient with hypercapnic respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, who had typical features of SJMS undiagnosed before this admission. He was extubated successfully, discharged home, and continues to be stable at a 90-day follow-up period. This marks one of the rare accounts where a patient with SJMS was given ventilatory support emergently, and one of the oldest patients reported. SJMS is under-reported due to its indolent clinical course and misdiagnosed as some other pulmonary abnormality. The clinical course progression and prognosis are unclear and variable in many affected patients due to this condition's rarity.
