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

Background: Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery (IDPA) is a rare vascular anomaly characterized by isolated dilation of the main pulmonary artery. There remains a limited understanding of IDPA, with a limited number of reported cases in the literature. Case presentation: This study reported a case of a 3-year and 11-month-old female presenting with a 1-month history of cough. The girl was diagnosed with IDPA based on Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and echocardiography showing significant dilation of the main pulmonary artery (25 mm, Conclusion: There is a significant gap in available guidance regarding the management and presentation of IDPA. Due to the potential for severe complications, case reports and data collection are critical to advancing IDPA understanding, and ultimately improving management and early identification.
