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

An 82-year-old Japanese man with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) experienced dyspnea after using a waterproofing spray in a closed room. He presented with hypoxemia and his chest computed tomography showed additive bilateral diffuse ground-glass attenuation on fibrosis, which was diagnostic of an acute exacerbation of IPF (AE-IPF). Combined treatment with high-dose corticosteroids and immunosuppressants were ineffective, and he later died of respiratory failure. Autopsy findings showed diffuse alveolar damage with honeycombing. His medical history and autopsy histopathology suggested AE-IPF caused by the inhalation of a waterproofing spray.
