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.
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
introductionIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with a fatal prognosis. The diagnosis is made on the basis of high-resolution computed tomography and histological examination in selected cases.
aimTo determine the risk of complications of open lung biopsy performed in patients with IPF. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 51 patients who underwent diagnostic excision of pulmonary parenchyma due to IPF in the period 1995-2014. We assessed the complication rate, length of drainage, postoperative period and 30-day mortality. We compared the results of treatment in the groups of patients operated on with thoracotomy and videothoracoscopy.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 58 (47% female, 53% male) forced vital capacity (FVC) was 81%, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
conclusionsOpen lung biopsy performed on patients with IPF is a safe procedure. Open lung biopsy performed through thoracotomy could be as safe as through VATS, however is characterized by longer postoperative stay.
