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

We describe an interesting rare case of a 61-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital for exertional dyspnea, non-productive cough, and generalized weakness of six months duration. Her computed tomography was significant for ground-glass opacities combined with bibasilar consolidations and numerous pulmonary cysts. There can be a significant overlap in imaging findings of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lung disease and interstitial lung disease from autoimmune diseases. We review in extensive detail the differential diagnosis for these imaging findings from a pulmonologist's perspective and discuss investigations required for further workup. Our patient underwent transbronchial biopsy and was eventually diagnosed with lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia with Sjogren predominant mixed connective tissue disease. We also review in detail the current literature and prognosis for this interesting disease.
