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

A 59-year-old woman suffering from dry cough and dyspnea was admitted to our hospital. She had undergone concurrent chemo-radiotherapy five months earlier. Chest computed tomography revealed bilateral ground-glass opacities extending outside the irradiated lung field. Her eosinophil numbers were increased in both the peripheral blood and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; therefore, she was diagnosed with radiation pneumonitis accompanied by eosinophilic alveolitis. Steroid therapy promptly improved the pneumonitis. Radiation pneumonitis accompanied by eosinophilic alveolitis extending outside the irradiated field is rare. Bronchoalveolar lavage is useful for a diagnosis, and steroid therapy is effective for treatment.
