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

We encountered a case of HTLV-1-associated bronchioloalveolar disorder (HABA) that was difficult to distinguish from fibrotic chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP). Chest thin-section computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse micronodules and revealed peribronchovascular and perilobular distribution. Further, thickening of the interlobular septa, areas of ground-glass attenuation, traction bronchiectasis/bronchiolectasis, and air trapping were observed. Based on these findings, diseases that cause lymphatic tract abnormalities and fibrotic CHP were considered differential diseases. A surgical lung biopsy was performed, and an HTLV-1 antibody was detected using the Western blot analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The final diagnosis of HABA was made through a multidisciplinary discussion.
