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

A 66-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of difficulty breathing and productive cough. CT scan of the chest revealed an endobronchial mass with associated "tree-in-bud" opacities. A bronchoscopic biopsy of the mass was performed due to clinical suspicion of malignancy. Microscopic examination revealed inflamed endobronchial mucosa, granulation tissue and abundant fragments of uncharacterized organic material, compatible with aspiration. Detailed history revealed a history of chewing "gutkha", a form of smokeless tobacco comprising a mixture of betel nut and other condiments. Microscopic sections of a betel nut and the "gutkha mix" processed subsequently in the histology laboratory were found to be similar to the organic material found in the mass. Thus, a diagnosis of impacted betel nut mixture leading to post-obstructive pneumonia was rendered.
