Kartagener syndrome with pectus excavatum and upper lobar bronchiectasis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by impaired ciliary function. The incidence of PCD is 1 in 20,000 births. Kartagener's syndrome (KS), a subtype of PCD, is distinguished by the presence of situs inversus. KS occurs in about 1 in 32,000 to 40,000 births. Characterized by a triad of situs inversus totalis, sinusitis, and typically lower lobe bronchiectasis, Kartagener's syndrome presents with distinct radiological features, which are explored in this case study. We report on an adolescent male with Kartagener's syndrome, manifesting atypical bronchiectasis in the left upper lobe, leading to a bilateral lung transplant, and severe pectus excavatum requiring surgical correction. This case documents a male patient with concurrent Kartagener's syndrome and pectus excavatum, supporting a previously explored, albeit theoretical association between these conditions.
