1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 cystic lesions in infants are uncommon and can present diagnostic challenges due to overlapping radiologic features with other cystic lung conditions. We present 2 cases of left lung cystic lesions in infants. Initial high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) suggested differential diagnoses, including pneumatocele, type I congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), or a solitary cystic lymphangioma. Definitive diagnosis was achieved through histopathological examination after left lower lobectomy and resection of the lesion. These cases highlight the challenges in accurately diagnosing pulmonary cystic lesions, given the limitations of imaging alone.
