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 37-year-old man with fever, cough, and dyspnea with no medical history developed an eosinophilic pleural effusion and blood eosinophilia. No evidence of malignancy or pathogens was detected in the pleural effusion, and the pleural specimen obtained by thoracoscopy showed eosinophilic infiltration with inflammatory granulation tissue without fibrinoid necrosis or malignant cells. Since a myeloproliferative disorder was also excluded, the diagnosis was idiopathic eosinophilic pleurisy. Corticosteroid treatment was started and then slowly tapered, and the eosinophilic pleural effusion resolved. Considering the various etiologies of eosinophilic pleurisy, a practical clinical approach to the investigation and diagnosis of eosinophilic pleurisy is presented.
