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

We herein report a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that appeared to be related to a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing lung cancer. A 77-year-old man with arterial sclerotic obstruction (ASO) underwent reconstructive surgery of the left femoral artery. He developed ARDS on the 5th postoperative day, which resolved following mechanical ventilation with steroid pulse treatment. Four months later, he was admitted with a fever and right arm pain. Chest computed tomography showed a malignant lesion in the right apical lung, and percutaneous needle biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma. Laboratory data revealed neutrophilia with elevated serum G-CSF levels. He underwent a right upper lobectomy with chest wall resection, and administration of sivelestat sodium to treat his postoperative pre-acute lung injury state. Pathology revealed a G-CSF-producing pleomorphic carcinoma. Retrospectively, a tumor shadow was noted on chest X-ray at the time of ARDS just after ASO surgery. The relationship between an abnormal G-CSF level and ARDS was considered, and the implications are herein discussed.
