Determining Response to Treatment for Drug-Induced Bronchocentric Granulomatosis by the Forced Oscillation Technique.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) therapy is widely used to treat various inflammatory conditions. Paradoxically, there are several case reports describing the development of bronchocentric granulomatosis treated with TNFα inhibitors, and it is difficult to determine the effect of treatment using conventional spirometry because the lesions are located in small airways. However, it has been reported that the forced oscillation technique (FOT) is useful in the evaluation of small airway disease in bronchial asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We performed the FOT to determine the effect of treatment on bronchocentric granulomatosis and found it to be useful. We report the case of a 55-year-old female with ulcerative colitis who was treated with golimumab and who developed bronchocentric granulomatosis as a sarcoid-like reaction to golimumab. She was successfully treated with prednisone, and the treatment efficacy was confirmed by the FOT. The FOT may be useful in the evaluation of small airway disease in bronchocentric granulomatosis. This case may help inform clinicians of the usefulness of the FOT to assess small airway disease in various diseases.
