Lung ultrasound in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia or cystic fibrosis.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are respiratory conditions requiring regular chest radiography (CXR) surveillance to monitor pulmonary disease. However, CXR is insensitive for lung disease in CF and PCD. Lung ultrasound (LU) is a radiation-free alternative showing good correlation with severity of lung disease in CF but has not been studied in PCD.
methodStandardized, six-zone LU studies and CXR were performed on a convenience sample of children with PCD or CF during a single visit when well. LU studies were graded using the LU scoring system, while CXR studies received a modified Chrispin-Norman score. Scores were correlated with clinical outcomes.
resultData from 30 patients with PCD and 30 with CF (median age PCD 11.5 years, CF 9.1 years) with overall mild pulmonary disease (PCD median FEV
conclusionThe correlation of LU findings with CXR surveillance studies is poor in patients with mild disease burdens from PCD or CF, and LU scores do not correlate with clinical outcomes in PCD.
