Rare interstitial lung disease in a preterm neonate with congenital lobar emphysema.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE)/congenital alveolar overdistension/congenital lobar overinflation or infantile lobar emphysema is a rare developmental anomaly of the lower respiratory tract which is characterised by hyperinflation of one or more of the pulmonary lobes. Histopathology may be variable, which may show abnormality in the cartilage, granulation tissue, mucosal folds, etc. We report a rare underlying histopathology in a preterm neonate with CLE. This entity referred to as pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis (PIG) is a group of heterogeneous lung disease affecting the lung parenchyma and is characterised by the presence of glycogen laden cells in the lung interstitium. This impairs the gas exchange and typically manifest as tachypnoea, retractions, hypoxia and increased respiratory support. Our case report highlights the association of CLE and PIG and a review of literature. One should always have a detailed histopathology in children presenting with CLE to rule out PIG.
