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

Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. wherein the first symptom might be dyspnea or a dry cough. The condition can also be manifested with chest pain secondary to pneumothorax. While the definitive diagnosis is based on a histological evaluation (which is not often performed), a computed tomography scan shows findings, such as apical fibrosis and pleural thickening of the apical lobes, which help assess the diagnosis. We describe a case of PPFE diagnosed radiologically in a 69-year-old man. This case highlights that PPFE is a pathology that can go unnoticed for a long time, and patients might neglect the revealing symptoms such as coughing.
