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

backgroundFibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) is an allergic and diffuse pneumonia caused by repeated inhalation of antigenic substances, and sometimes developed in people working in specific environments. While novel antigens and exposures continued to be described, physicians should maintain a high suspicion of potential exposures. A detailed assessment of the patient's occupational exposures as well as living environment is necessary and complete allergen avoidance is the first and most important step in the management of FHP once the allergens are determined. CASE SUMMARY: A 35-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with a cough and breathing difficulties for more than one year. She was a nonsmoker and a manufacturer of halogen dishes, which are characteristic Chinese foods, for 15 years without any protection. High resolution computed tomography of the chest demonstrated an interstitial pneumonia pattern. Pulmonary function examination showed restricted ventilation dysfunction and a significant reduction in dispersion ability. Cell differentiation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated lymphocytosis (70.4%) with an increased lymphocyte CD4/CD8 ratio (0.94). Transbronchial lung biopsy combined with lung puncture pathology showed diffuse uniform alveolar interval thickening, chronic inflammatory cell infiltration, a proliferation of tissue in the bronchial wall fiber and alveolar epithelial follicle degeneration, resulting in fibrosis.

conclusionExposure to spices used for the production of halogen dishes may cause FHP.
