Kartagener syndrome: A case report.
Article in Canadian journal of respiratory therapy : CJRT = Revue canadienne de la therapie respiratoire : RCTR, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Kartagener syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes defects in the action of ciliary movement, comprises of triad situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. We present the case of a 3-year-old boy with repeated respiratory infections and pneumonic infections presenting with acute respiratory failure. He was diagnosed with Kartagener syndrome based on his clinical presentation and imaging features. The current diagnosis was consistent with severe acute bronchitis. He was managed initially with conventional medical therapy, but he didn't respond and was transferred immediately to the pediatric intensive care unit where noninvasive ventilation was administered. He had shown significant predictors of early noninvasive ventilation failure and was mechanically ventilated, after which, he was disconnected from the ventilator and discharged without complications. In patients presenting with recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections, Kartagener syndrome should always be kept in mind. The correct diagnosis of this disorder in early life is very important to prevent complications and improve patients' quality of life.
