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

E-cigarette-associated lung injury (EVALI) is related to the usage of e-cigarettes or a related product (e.g., "vaping" or "dabbing"). It presents mainly with constitutional, respiratory, or gastrointestinal symptoms, and EVALI is currently a diagnosis of exclusion. EVALI patients are more prone to rapid clinical decline requiring close monitoring, with some requiring intensive care unit (ICU) level of care or intubation. Mortality occurs in rare cases. We are presenting an interesting case of a male in his mid-60s who presented to the emergency department with worsening dyspnea and cough for two weeks, preceded by a one-week history of fever, nausea, and diarrhea. He was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia based on computed tomography (CT) findings. Subsequent CT of the chest showed worsening bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities (GGOs) correlating with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Laboratory workup showed leukocytosis and lactic acidosis. The rest of the laboratory workup was normal. The patient was intubated due to ARDS, developed multiorgan failure, and passed away subsequently.
