Cavitary pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in a patient on leflunomide: A case report.
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
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that can cause extra-articular manifestations, in particular pleuropulmonary involvement, which is the second leading cause of death in this connective tissue disease. We report a rare pulmonary manifestation of RA. This was a 58-year-old patient being followed for RA on leflunomide with 3 excavated pulmonary nodules measuring 13 mm, 10 mm and 6 mm, for which the diagnostic hypotheses of infection, pulmonary metastases and rheumatoid nodules had been put forward. The diagnosis of excavated pulmonary nodules in rheumatoid arthritis was made after aspiration of one of the nodules, which ruled out infectious and cancerous causes. These nodules regressed 6 months after leflunomide was stopped.
