Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Diagnosed after Exposure to a Fire Extinguisher Containing Silica Powder.

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
We herein report a case of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) diagnosed after one-time exposure to silica powder. Owing to the misuse of a silica-containing fire extinguisher and the inhalation of large amounts of its powder, the patient experienced prolonged cough and visited our hospital. The findings of chest computed tomography and surgical lung biopsy specimens led to the diagnosis of PAP. Interestingly, the presence of anti-GM-CSF antibody was detected; therefore, both autoimmune characteristics and exposure to large amounts of silica may have caused the development of PAP in this patient. This case provides important insight into the mechanisms leading to the onset of PAP.
