Endotracheal hamartoma causing persistent dyspnoea after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Article in BMJ 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
Pulmonary hamartomas are abnormal growths of mature cell or tissue types, including cartilage, epithelium, fat or muscle. Although most cases are benign, asymptomatic and often incidentally discovered, these masses may provoke significant complications via predisposition to obstruction, ischaemia or infection. Pulmonary hamartomas located within the tracheal lumen are exceedingly rare clinical entities which produce symptoms of dyspnoea, cough, stridor, wheezing or angina. Significant clinical consequences include airway obstruction and cardiovascular collapse. Most cases of tracheal hamartoma are initially diagnosed as obstructive pulmonary disease. We present a structured case report of a tracheal hamartoma identified in a patient with recent coronary artery bypass grafting who was initially evaluated for persistent ischaemic pathology, resulting in delay of diagnosis. By review of limited literature of this disorder, we emphasise the need for clinicians to be aware of this indolent and rare entity.
