Vanishing Lung Syndrome: A Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Vanishing lung syndrome (VLS), also known as idiopathic giant bullous emphysema, is defined by the emergence of sizable bullae causing compression on healthy lung tissue. The elusive etiology of VLS mandates a diagnosis based on radiographic evidence showcasing giant bullae occupying at least one-third of the hemithorax in one or both lungs. This report presents a case of VLS in a 36-year-old female smoker devoid of any prior medical history. Additionally, we conducted a systematic review to discern the demographics, risk factors, and treatment modalities for individuals diagnosed with VLS.
