Pulmonary Sequestration in the Guise of Pneumonia: Clues to a Hidden Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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 sequestration is an important yet often overlooked congenital lung malformation in adolescent medicine characterized by dysplastic, non-functioning pulmonary tissue that lacks communication with the tracheobronchial tree and derives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. We report the case of a 12-year-old female patient referred to our institute with a six-month history of intermittent fever, cough, and chest pain, initially managed as a case of right-sided pneumonia elsewhere. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the thorax revealed a cavitary soft tissue lesion in the right lower lobe supplied by a systemic artery arising from the descending thoracic aorta with pulmonary venous drainage and no bronchial communication, establishing the diagnosis of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Surgical resection was performed, and histopathological examination demonstrated cystically dilated bronchi and bronchioles with chronic inflammation, fibrosis, bronchiolization, and thick-walled systemic-type arteries, confirming the diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of considering pulmonary sequestration in patients with recurrent lower lobe infections and highlights the integrated role of imaging, histopathology, and pediatric surgical management in establishing the diagnosis, guiding definitive treatment, and preventing complications.
