COVID-19 in a patient with sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis awaiting lung transplantation.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging viral disease with a mortality that depends on the individual's condition. Underlying comorbidities are major risk factors for COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality. However, information regarding the clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with rare respiratory system diseases is lacking. Here, we present a case of severe COVID-19 in a patient with advanced sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) who was awaiting lung transplantation. She experienced a marked worsening of her respiratory status despite the limited size of the infiltrations seen on chest computed tomography. She responded to treatment with dexamethasone and remdesivir, and did not require mechanical ventilation. She recovered her pre-COVID-19 respiratory function. This case illustrates that patients with severe lung parenchymal destruction due to advanced LAM are at risk of worsening hypoxemia, but may not have a bad outcome if managed appropriately. Prevention and early diagnosis of COVID-19 are crucial in patients with advanced LAM. Future studies are needed to improve understanding of the clinical features and optimal treatment of COVID-19 in patients with LAM.
