Severe Photosensitivity Reaction After Pirfenidone Use.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic and progressive disease with a significant mortality rate. Pirfenidone is one of two oral antifibrotic therapies approved to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Pirfenidone helps decrease disease progression in patients with IPF and reduces vital capacity. This has led to widespread use of this medication in recent years. In this case report, we present a 60-year-old male who started treatment with pirfenidone for IPF and had severe skin reactions after initiation of therapy.
