Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH) Progressing to Carcinoid Tumor: A Case of Chronic Cough.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH), a rare disease previously overlooked, is gradually being recognized as an important precursor state to pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. The very insidious onset of symptom presentation makes early diagnosis of DIPNECH almost impossible in clinical settings. In this report, we present a case of persistent and worsening cough for over five years with waxing and waning lung nodules of varying sizes which were eventually diagnosed as DIPNECH on biopsy. However, due to the location and the multiplicity of these nodules, surgical resection was not an option in this case. The diagnostic workup including imaging and biopsy, management options, and possible prognosis of DIPNECH are discussed in detail. This report highlights the growing recognition of DIPNECH as a clinical entity to be aware of during the formulation of a differential diagnosis for patients presenting with chronic unrelenting cough and associated lung nodules.
