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 characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumonia (M. pneumoniae)-associated bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) are not well known. We retrospectively reviewed 17 patients with M. pneumoniae-associated BO. All patients had M. pneumoniae-associated acute bronchiolitis prior to the development of BO. In the acute bronchiolitis stage, all patients had fever and cough; six patients also had wheezing and dyspnoea. BO was diagnosed approximately 1.5-8 months later based on clinical manifestations and chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings. All patients presented with wheezing and/or dyspnoea at the time of diagnosis of BO. HRCT findings included mosaic attenuation, pronounced air trapping, central bronchiectasis and emphysema, according to disease severity. Lung function tests revealed mild to severe airway obstruction. Fourteen of 17 patients had a greater than 12% increase in forced expiratory volume in 1 second values after taking salbutamol. All patients had positive allergy test results and family or personal history of atopic disease. Four patients had a history of asthma before M. pneumonia bronchiolitis. Asthma was diagnosed before, at the time of or after the diagnosis of BO in 11 cases. M. pneumoniae-associated BO may therefore develop following M. pneumonia bronchiolitis and overlap with asthma.
