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

Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and a manifestation of peripheral airway/alveolar inflammation. Recently, alveolar nitric oxide concentration (Calv) has been revealed as a noninvasive marker of peripheral airway inflammation; however, whether Calv levels are associated with OP and peripheral airway in patients after allo-HSCT remains unclear. Herein, we evaluated whether Calv levels could reflect the presence of OP and structural airway changes in patients after allo-HSCT. We measured the eNO levels of 38 patients (6 with OP and 32 without OP) who underwent allo-HSCT. Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) analysis of the airway was performed in 19 patients. We found that in patients with OP, Calv levels were significantly higher than in those without OP (10.6 vs. 5.5 ppb, p < 0.01). Receiver-operating characteristic analyses revealed a Calv cut-off value for OP detection of 10.2 ppb. No significant differences in the patient characteristics, except for the presence of OP (p < 0.01), were noted between the two groups stratified by the Calv cut-off value. Three-dimensional CT images of the airway revealed gradually increasing positive correlations between Calv levels and airway wall area of the third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation bronchi (r = 0.20, 0.31, 0.38; p = 0.42, 0.19, 0.038, respectively), indicating that Calv levels are strongly correlated with the wall thickness of the distal bronchi. Our results suggest that the Calv level may be a useful noninvasive detectable marker for OP after an allo-HSCT.
