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

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a known complication of lipid administration through either the nasal or oral route. ELP in paediatric patients is usually managed by discontinuing lipid administration and supportive care, including respiratory support and the use of antibiotics for secondary bacterial infection. The other modalities that remain controversial include the use of corticosteroids and clearing lipids by whole lung lavage. We report a 2-month-old infant who presented with pneumonia and whose further history revealed exposure to ghee over a month period while visiting her grandparents in the south region of Saudi Arabia. The patient was later diagnosed as having ELP and was successfully managed with modified whole lung lavage till weaned off from oxygen. Unfortunately, the case was complicated by nontuberculous
