Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemmas in Recurrent Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis After Bilateral Lung Transplantation.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) dependent lung disease treated primarily with whole-lung lavage (WLL); recurrence after lung transplantation is uncommon and poorly characterised. We present a 73-year-old Hispanic man with PAP who developed recurrent disease more than 3 years after bilateral lung transplantation. High-resolution CT showed evolving ground-glass opacities and crazy-paving, and anti-GM-CSF antibodies were positive, yet repeated bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsies were initially PAS-negative.
