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

Pediatric congenital lung malformations (CLMs) comprise a spectrum of developmental anomalies of lung parenchyma, airways, and vasculature. CLMs are increasingly diagnosed prenatally but remain best characterized by postnatal cross-sectional imaging. During pregnancy, ultrasound (US) and fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used to monitor lung lesions. Management of CLMs, including imaging, in infants and young children depends on associated symptoms and institutional standards. Chest CT angiography (CTA) is usually the most appropriate initial postnatal imaging modality for assessing prenatally diagnosed or clinically suspected CLMs in asymptomatic infants and children. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging/magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may be considered as a complementary, problem-solving, imaging modality for evaluation of CLMs during fetal and neonatal periods. This article presents contemporary perspectives on the imaging approach to pediatric patients with suspected CLMs and reviews up-to-date radiologic findings and clinical characteristics of CLMs.
