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

Electronic cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) is a disease defined by lung injuries caused by e-cigarette use. It predominantly manifests in forms of organized pneumonia or diffuse alveolar damage but rarely as acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP). This report describes a 34-year-old male with acute respiratory symptoms and a vaping history of only nicotine. Chest CT revealed peripheral distributing multiple patchy consolidations and ground-glass opacities dominant in both lower lobes, bilateral diffuse interlobular septal thickening, and bilateral pleural effusion without cardiomegaly. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluids showed increased eosinophilia levels, while infectious laboratory results were all negative, enabling the diagnosis of both AEP and EVALI. Herein, we report a rare case of only-nicotine vaping EVALI manifested as AEP.
