Non-specific interstitial pneumonia associated with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis showing "crazy paving" appearance on thin-section lung CT.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 "crazy paving" appearance consists of ground-glass opacity superimposed on a network of linear opacities on thin-section computed tomography (CT) images of the lung. This finding has been described in a variety of diseases but is extremely rare in patients with non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). We describe a 45-year-old woman with biopsy-proven NSIP associated with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis that showed a "crazy paving" appearance on thin-section CT of the lung. Clinicians should include NSIP in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with "crazy paving" appearance on thin-section chest CT.
