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

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare interstitial lung disease that predominantly affects women of childbearing age. In this case series, we presented five cases diagnosed with LAM in our clinic in the last 2 years. All cases were female, and their ages ranged from 40 to 54 years. The primary symptoms of LAM seen in the cases were exertional dyspnea and cough. Radiological examination revealed multiple bilateral thin-walled air cysts on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in all cases. In three cases, the diagnosis of LAM was made histopathologically by wedge resection. Awareness of this rare disease's clinical and radiological features is critical for early diagnosis and timely initiation of treatment.
