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

Herein, we report an autopsy case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in which remarkable honeycomb cyst expansion appeared in the clinical course. Radiological findings initially showed subpleural predominant reticulation that had progressed to usual interstitial pneumonia with honeycomb cysts, along with a restrictive pattern in the pulmonary function tests. The diameter of honeycomb cysts had gradually increased, and some cysts had abruptly expanded at the end stage. Based on pathological findings of autopsy specimens, bronchiectasis, alveolar collapse due to inflammation, and check-valve mechanism caused by a slit-like orifice of the cysts could have contributed to honeycomb cyst expansion.
