Type II Pleuropulmonary Blastoma in a Two-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an extremely rare and highly malignant intrathoracic tumor in children, representing a unique form of aggressive primary lung carcinoma with a strong tendency for local recurrence. In this case report, we present a two-year-old girl who has had recurrent respiratory infections since birth. A chest X-ray revealed an abnormality, prompting a referral to a surgical team, where the lesion was identified as type II PPB based on histological analysis. After completing polychemotherapy, the patient was monitored for five years, during which clinical exams and imaging showed no evidence of disease. Diagnosing PPB requires a high index of suspicion due to its aggressive yet subtle presentation, as imaging findings and clinical symptoms may be nonspecific. This report emphasizes the diagnostic and management challenges of type II PPB, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in low-resource settings. We explore potential prognostic factors, discuss treatment options, and propose individualized therapeutic strategies.
