Granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease: limiting immunosuppressive therapy-a single-centre experience.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is characterized by lymphocytic and granulomatous pulmonary infiltration occurring in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). It is associated with increased mortality compared with CVID patients without GLILD. There are no treatment guidelines due to the low prevalence and the heterogeneity of the condition. A case review of three patients diagnosed with GLILD was performed from a single Australian centre. Patients met the European Society of Immunodeficiency criteria for CVID and a diagnosis of GLILD was confirmed by a multidisciplinary team. Patients were managed with immunoglobulin (Ig) replacement and immunosuppressive agents if required: the decision for immunosuppression was made on the basis of symptoms and declining pulmonary function. All patients clinically improved. One patient had immunosuppressive treatment ceased. GLILD responds to varying immunosuppressive regimes when IgG monotherapy fails. Immunosuppressive therapy can be discontinued following improvement, but patients require close observation. This series helps inform future GLILD treatment guidelines.
