A Case of a Rapidly Infected Giant Pulmonary Cyst Complicated by Abscess Formation: Treatment and Management.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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 cysts are air- or fluid-filled parenchymal spaces surrounded by an epithelial or fibrous wall; diagnosing an infected cyst can be challenging. Herein, we report a case of a 44-year-old woman who presented with fever and a productive cough. Chest computed tomography revealed a giant cystic lesion in the left upper lobe with an air-fluid level, suggesting superimposed infection. Despite intravenous antibiotics, the lesion rapidly progressed, leading to pulmonary abscess formation. A lobectomy was performed due to poor response to medical therapy and risk of sepsis. Pathology confirmed a giant pulmonary cyst with secondary abscess. This case illustrates the rare but serious complication of cyst infection leading to lobectomy and emphasizes the importance of early intervention and surgical consideration.
