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

The lungs are involved in many inflammatory rheumatic diseases. We will focus on the most common clinical problems. In systemic sclerosis interstitial lung disease resulting in fibrosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) resulting in right heart failure are the leading complications requiring close cooperation between specialists in rheumatology and pulmonology. In Sjogren's syndrome interstitial pneumonia, pleural and bronchial inflammation and rarely PAH will be the main pulmonary complications. Hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophilic pneumonia, and Churg-Strauss syndrome are conditions that show marked eosinophilia and can clinically be confused with asthma and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. These conditions mandate thorough investigation of the lungs including bronchoscopy and possibly open lung biopsy. Finally, patients for whom treatment with tumour necrosis factor blocking agents is planned should undergo interdisciplinary management to prevent tuberculosis activation or infection.
