Isolated unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (IUAPA) presenting with progressive interstitial shadows: A case report.
Article in Respirology 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
Unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital condition. When UAPA occurs without associated congenital heart disease, it is referred to as isolated unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (IUAPA). IUAPA is frequently not diagnosed until adulthood. A 61-year-old female patient presented with right chest pain and a worsening interstitial shadow over 9 years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the absence of blood flow from the pulmonary artery in the right lung, leading to the diagnosis of IUAPA. In this case, the diagnosis of UAPA was established after approximately 40 years. This case underscores the importance of identifying vascular abnormalities to differentiate this condition in patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms and interstitial shadows.
