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 63-year-old man presented with persistent cough and progressive dyspnea. Computed tomography showed irregular pleural thickening and fibrotic changes with volume loss in the upper lobes, and subtle reticulation in the lower lobes. Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) was diagnosed based on the findings of a surgical lung biopsy. Bronchiolar lesions, including proliferative bronchiolitis, constrictive bronchiolitis obliterans, and peribronchiolar metaplasia were evident on pathology. A usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern was also observed in the lower lobes. Three weeks after the biopsy, an acute exacerbation occurred. We herein describe a rare case of idiopathic PPFE with various bronchiolar lesions and a UIP pattern in which an acute exacerbation developed.
