Congenital lobar emphysema case report: A frequently misdiagnosed disease.

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
Introduction and importance: Congenital Lobar Emphysema is a rare cystic lesion of the lung which may be misdiagnosed and managed as pneumonia or pneumothorax. Case presentation: We presented a case of a congenital cystic lung malformation, the case demonstrated a 29-day-old boy who presented with respiratory distress. He was initially diagnosed as pneumonia and was given unnecessary antibiotic treatment in another hospital without improvement. Subsequently, the diagnosis of congenital lobar emphysema of the left upper lobe was made on the basis of the clinical and radiologic features. The condition wasn't detected before birth. He underwent a successful left thoracotomy with left upper lobe lobectomy. Clinical discussion: Congenital Lobar Emphysema poses a challenge in diagnosis. It may mimic other causes of respiratory distress. Conclusion: Congenital Lobar Emphysema requires a high index of clinical and radiological suspicion to make an early diagnosis so that timely treatment will be offered.
