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

The case of a patient with cough and asthma after activity that each had a 1-month duration is reported. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) showed visceral pleural thickening in both upper lungs (especially the right lung), which was accompanied by fibrous strips and patches near the pleura, and these were accompanied by distraction bronchiectasis. Idiopathic pleuropulmonary elastosis was confirmed by thoracoscopic lung biopsy. The patient was treated with acetylcysteine, but their asthma worsened after activity and their lung function decreased significantly after 10 months. Idiopathic pleuroparenehymal fibroelastosis is a rare new type of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, which has no effective treatment except for lung transplantation.
