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

To evaluate hospital mortality and associated risk factors for acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AEIPF). Emphases were put on incidence and impact of extra-pulmonary organ failures. Patients diagnosed with AEIPF from July 2014 to September 2018 were enrolled. Clinical data were collected. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) and simplified acute physiological score II (SAPS II) were calculated. Extra-pulmonary organ failures were diagnosed upon criteria of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). Forty-five patients with AEIPF were included. Eighteen patients (40.0%) developed extra-pulmonary organ failures, and 25 patients (55.6%) died during hospitalization. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) (p = 0.001), SAPS II (p = 0.004), SOFA (p = 0.001) were higher, whereas arterial oxygen pressure (PaO
