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

backgroundChildren's interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a rare group of pediatric lung diseases affecting the lung interstitium diffusely. In this work, we focused our attention on a specific infant group of chILD, also known as "specific conditions of undefined aetiology", including pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis (PIG) and neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI).

methodsPubMed was searched to conduct this narrative review. We searched for articles in English using the following keywords: (1) neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy; (2) NEHI; (3) pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis; (4) PIG; (5) chILD.

resultsAn increasing interest and insight into these two conditions have been reported. The updated literature suggests that it is possible to look at these disorders as a continuum of diseases, rather than two different entities, since they share a pulmonary dysmaturity.

conclusionsNEHI and PIG are featured by dysmaturity of airway development and consequent respiratory distress. Understanding the underlying pathogenic mechanisms would lead to identifying new targeted therapies to ameliorate the mortality and morbidity of these rare conditions.
