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

Drug-induced lung injury is defined as a respiratory disorder. The usefulness of the basophil activation test (BAT) for drug allergy-related cases was recently reported. The patient was an 82-year-old woman who had been taking Daisaikoto and Yokukansan (herbal medicines) 3 months before developing dry cough. She was admitted to our hospital with an initial diagnosis of pneumonia with elevated serum LDH, KL-6, and IgE. Chest CT showed bilateral ground-glass opacities. Her bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed increased eosinophils. Finally, a BAT was positive for both medications. Based on the findings, the patient was diagnosed with Daisaikoto- and Yokukansan-induced lung injury. The current case suggests that the BAT may be useful for the diagnosis of drug-induced lung injury.
