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

Pulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis (PLG) is a rare multisystem Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder. Exact incidence is unknown and, with its variable clinical presentation, making an accurate diagnosis of PLG can be difficult. We present two distinct cases at our tertiary centre that underline PLG's non-specific clinical presentations. This resulted in the failure of recognizing PLG early with consequently progressive fatal outcomes. The rationale is to enlighten us concisely the knowledge surrounding PLG and consider it as a potential differential diagnosis, particularly in those immunosuppressed patients with radiological evidence of worsening pulmonary infiltrates not responding to customary treatment for common diagnoses. Having a high degree of suspicion for PLG in the right setting and pursuing lung biopsy early if appropriate for histopathology examination would be justified. This is essential to correctly diagnose PLG up-front and subsequently utilize best management approach for a better survival and mortality risk outlook.
