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

Background: Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHDS), also known as Hornstein-Knickenberg syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by a triad of clinical manifestations: skin fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, and multiple pulmonary cysts. The exact incidence of BHDS syndrome is unknown. This hereditary syndrome is caused by mutations in the folliculin (FLCN) gene, located on chromosome 17p11.2, which encodes the folliculin protein. Objective: This case report aims to highlight the importance of increased vigilance and long-term follow-up in BHDS patients, even decades after surgical intervention, to detect and manage potential pulmonary complications effectively. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and previous pneumothorax episodes.
