1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH) is the lesser known pulmonary manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. It manifests radiologically as diffuse small ground-glass and solid nodules. Accurate diagnosis is essential as it can be mistaken for miliary tuberculosis or malignant lesions which necessitates specific treatment. Constellation of radiological features such as multicentric disease at onset and stability over time can help to distinguish MMPH from its differentials. Histologically, MMPH is characterized by hamartomatous proliferation of type II pneumocytes with a lack of high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. MMPH confers a benign prognosis unlike its differentials. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is paramount in ensuring appropriate care is delivered. Here, we describe the radiological and histological features of MMPH in a patient with genetically proven tuberous sclerosis complex and co-existing lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
