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 25 year old woman was referred to our center for further evaluation of an exercise-induced dyspnea. Moreover, the patient suffered from hoarseness and recurrent sinusitis and otitis. After initially finding nothing suspicious, a spiro-ergometry was performed. Interestingly, we saw a relevant limitation of the inspiratory flow-volume curve under maximal exercise load. Further evaluation (in particular the bronchoscopy and the resulting biopsies) led us to the final diagnosis of a granulomatosis with polyangiitis. After 4 weeks of an established therapy regime with prednisone and rituximab the prior detected subglottic stenosis and the inspiratory flow-volume curve limitation could no longer detected. We describe a rare differential diagnosis of an exercise-induced asthma and we underline the importance of a multimodal therapy concept. We highlight the critical nature of the flow-volume curve in spiro-ergometry under maximal exercise load. We recommend frequent follow-up control visits to monitor the subglottic stenosis.
