Diffuse alveolar damage and e-cigarettes: Case report and review of literature.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 prevalence of e-cigarette usage has increased in non-smokers and those who are planning to quit smoking since introduced in 2003. Although the potential long term adverse effects have not been studied in humans, there have been studies showing that e-cigarette vapor causes release of proinflammatory cytokines leading to cytotoxic damage to alveolar epithelial cells, increase in the release of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in the alveolar epithelial cells which leads to fibroblastic proliferation, and increased risk of staphylococcus aureus and viral infections which are implicated in the pathogenesis of diffuse alveolar damage. We describe a case of a 47-year-old woman who was diagnosed with histologically confirmed diffuse alveolar damage (DAD). She had no significant medical history and she had been smoking e-cigarettes for 3 years prior to presentation. This case report describes the potential association between e-cigarettes and diffuse alveolar damage while making reference to relevant associated studies.
