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

Dyspnea is a common symptom and may be due to a multitude of conditions, including cardiopulmonary insufficiency, anemia, neuromuscular disorders, obesity, or deconditioning. It is not uncommon that more than one process contributes to shortness of breath. Here, we present a patient with a complaint of worsening shortness of breath who was found to have two very rare causes of dyspnea simultaneously. The symptoms resolved with treatment of pernicious anemia and myasthenia gravis (MG). The coexistence of pernicious anemia and MG is extremely rare, with only two other cases reported so far.
