Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia: two case reports and literature review.
Review in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundAcute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) is a very rare form of acute or subacute lung injury, which is characterized by patches of "fibrin balls" distributed within the alveoli. Given the lack of typical clinical manifestations, AFOP is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc. Definitive diagnosis is obtained from a lung biopsy. Corticosteroids are usually effective. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two cases of patients with histopathological manifestations of AFOP, which were significantly improved after corticosteroid therapy. Previous reports of the clinical and pathological characteristics of AFOP were reviewed to improve clinicians' understanding of this disease.
conclusionsEarly identification and diagnosis are very important for AFOP treatment. The prognosis is acceptable after timely and effective treatment.
