A rare mimic of adult-onset asthma: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Adult-onset asthma is extremely variable in its phenotypic presentation and has gained notoriety for the overall poorer treatment outcomes even on standard asthma therapy. Tracheal tumours are rare but when present, exhibit asthma-like phenomenon in adult patients posing great diagnostic challenges. We report two adult patients with tracheal adenoid cystic tumours who were initially treated for adult-onset asthma. Patient 1, a 45-year-old man was diagnosed and managed for adult-onset asthma over a 12 months period without satisfactory control of his symptoms. Following a late episode of hemoptysis, a chest Computed Tomography (CT) scan done revealed an occluding tracheal tumour. Patient 2 is a 28-year-old female who was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma for over 2 years with poor symptom control despite optimal asthma therapy. She developed cough-induced subcutaneous emphysema for which a chest CT scan revealed a tracheal mass. The patient had surgery with incomplete resection of tumour and adjuvant radiotherapy.
