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 60-year-old smoker with a history of liver cirrhosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary syndrome (COPD) presented with hypoxic respiratory failure. This was felt secondary to an exacerbation of COPD. Despite treatment, the patient required 10 L of oxygen to achieve saturations of 88% on ambulation. Interstitial lung disease, pulmonary emboli and pulmonary hypertension were excluded as potential aetiologies of hypoxia. Given the history of cirrhosis, hepatopulmonary syndrome was postulated. Contrast echocardiography suggested an extracardiac shunt; a technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin scan confirmed the diagnosis.
