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

There has been a recent outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) but the exact pathophysiology remains unknown. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and vitamin E derivates are the major components in vaping-generated aerosols that are associated with EVALI. So far, there is no standard treatment for EVALI. Most cases are treated with antibiotics and steroids. Counseling for smoking cessation is an integral part of care for EVALI patients. Referral to addiction medicine may be beneficial. Considering the nonspecific presenting symptoms and the growing popularity of vaping devices, providers need to consider EVALI in the differential diagnosis of bilateral patchy ground-glass opacities with respiratory, constitutional, or gastrointestinal symptoms in patients using e-cigarettes. Here, we present four EVALI cases and review the pertinent imaging and pathological findings.
