Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Unique Case of Familial PAM Complicated by Transplant Rejection.
Article in Case reports in pathology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare lung disease characterized by the deposition of calcium phosphate microliths or calcospherites, within the alveolar airspace. Typical imaging findings demonstrate a "sandstorm" appearance due to bilateral, interstitial sand-like micronodularities with basal predominance. METHODS AND
resultsWe describe an unusual case of a 48-year-old male with severe, familial PAM ultimately treated with a bilateral lung transplant.
conclusionsPAM is a rare lung disease caused by a mutation in the
