Diffuse Pulmonary Meningotheliomatosis Mimicking Multiple Lung Metastases of Prostate Cancer: A Case Report.

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
Diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis (DPM) is a benign pulmonary disease characterised by widespread bilateral minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules that often appear as multiple ground-glass nodules on chest imaging. We present the case of a 64-year-old man with prostate cancer who was found to have multiple pulmonary nodules during cancer staging and was initially suspected to have lung metastases. A surgical lung biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of DPM, allowing the patient to receive curative treatment for localised prostate cancer. DPM is a rare condition reported to be possibly associated with malignancy; however, little is known about its pathogenesis. This case demonstrates the importance of considering DPM in the differential diagnosis of multiple pulmonary nodules, including lung metastases, and the need for further research.
