Adult-onset Williams-Campbell syndrome: Clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Williams-Campbell syndrome (WCS), traditionally recognized in childhood, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by subsegmental bronchial cartilage deficiency, leading to bronchiectasis. However, its occurrence in adults presents unique diagnostic complexities. We present two cases: Case 1, a 53-year-old male with recurrent rhinosinusitis and COVID-19-associated lung cysts; Case 2, a 59-year-old cyclist with pulmonary bullae. Diagnostic evaluations included pulmonary function tests and imaging studies. Both cases underwent extensive diagnostic evaluations before WCS diagnosis. Management was focused on symptom alleviation and pneumococcal vaccination. Adult-onset WCS poses diagnostic challenges, often mimicking other respiratory conditions. Pathology confirmation is a gold standard for definitive diagnosis; however, in the case of WCS, the literature supports a diagnostic approach primarily based on clinical and radiological findings. Early recognition and tailored management strategies are essential to enhance patient outcomes.
