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

A 76-year-old woman presented with a 2-hour history of pleuritic chest pain with no other associated symptoms. Blood investigations revealed raised inflammatory markers and an elevated white cell count. On chest radiograph, an airspace shadow indicative of a consolidation was prominent. This was followed by a CT scan of her thorax which showed a spiculated lesion in the right upper lobe, a lesion in the posterior segment of the left lower lobe and mildly enlarged right hilar lymph nodes. She was started on dual antibiotic therapy; however, the patient's clinical status and inflammatory markers did not improve. A bronchoscopy was performed which excluded malignancy and atypical pathogens. CT-guided biopsy confirmed the presence of cryptogenic organising pneumonia. Prednisolone 50 mg daily was prescribed with quick resolution of symptoms.
