Rare presentation of pneumothorax in a young woman with underlying congenital pulmonary airway malformation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is the most common among a rare group of congenital anomalies of the lower respiratory tract. It has variable presentation depending on its subtype and the patient's age. It may lead to respiratory distress in neonates. It can be a particularly challenging diagnosis in children born asymptomatic but present with complications later in life such as haemoptysis, recurrent chest infections, breathlessness and pneumothorax. Prenatal ultrasound, chest X-ray, CT scan and MRI are helpful in making a radiological diagnosis.A woman in her late teens presented with shortness of breath and right pleuritic chest pain. CT's chest showed a number of bullae of varying sizes on the right, including one huge bulla compressing all three lobes. She underwent lung volume reduction surgery via video-assisted thoracoscopy, and the histology specimen confirmed the diagnosis of CPAM type 1.
