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

Diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rare pulmonary condition characterized by the diffuse formation of mature bone in the lungs. Pulmonary ossification, in general, can be subdivided into diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) and nodular pulmonary ossification (NPO). DPO occurs most commonly in the settings of chronic pulmonary conditions; however, idiopathic cases have been reported. We present a case of DPO in a 36-year-old man with progressive exertional dyspnea, productive cough, and occasional hemoptysis. Imaging studies showed innumerable pulmonary nodules scattered throughout both lungs. Initially, the diagnoses of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) or, less likely miliary tuberculosis (TB) were considered. However, Quantiferon TB test was negative and genetic testing was negative for
