Fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Diagnosed by a Re-evaluation with Bronchoalveolar Lavage at Disease Deterioration.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 79-year-old man was admitted with worsening cough, dyspnea, and increased ground-glass opacity on chest computed tomography (CT). He had been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis given the absence of an identifiable cause of interstitial pneumonia, chest CT findings, and absence of lymphocytosis in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Meticulous history taking revealed extensive exposure to inciting antigens contained in chicken fertilizer before symptom worsening. A re-evaluation with BAL showed lymphocytosis, and clinical improvement with antigen avoidance confirmed the diagnosis of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (fHP). A re-evaluation with BAL at disease deterioration after possible exposure to inciting antigen can facilitate a correct fHP diagnosis.
