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

Unilateral pulmonary artery atresia (UPAA) is a rare embryonic vascular malformation, leading to general presentations of exertional dyspnoea, pneumonia and haemoptysis. Our patient, a man in his early 30s, presented with a history of progressive breathlessness over a period of 2 years. History showed multiple admissions for pneumonia over his childhood and adolescence. Physical examination revealed a loud P2, an ejection systolic murmur and coarse crepitations in multiple lung fields. Severe pulmonary artery hypertension was noted on two-dimensional echocardiography. CT studies confirmed right pulmonary artery atresia with aspergilloma and bronchiectasis. With this diagnosis of UPAA, this case report intends to raise awareness among clinicians to consider this as a rare cause of cor pulmonale in an adult.
