The Usefulness of a Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy for Diffuse Bronchiolitis.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We herein report four cases of diffuse bronchiolitis proven by a transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC). Based on various aspects, including the pathological findings, we definitively diagnosed two patients with diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) and the other two with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). One of the DPB patients had more severe peribronchiolar fibrosis than the other, and the disease course was refractory to macrolide therapy. One of the PCD patients was additionally diagnosed with combined constrictive bronchiolitis. This report highlights the importance of a TBLC in the differentiation of bronchiolitis, suggesting its utility for helping pulmonologists formulate a treatment strategy.
