Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis: A Review with a Focus on a Non-Infectious Complications after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant.
Review in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare disease that is currently classified as an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Although originally described as an idiopathic disease, PPFE has now been identified as a rare complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Unlike other pulmonary complications after HSCT, PPFE occurs very late after transplant. Etiologies for PPFE after HSCT remain to be fully established. Infections and adverse effects to alkylating chemotherapy have been suggested as possible causes. In several cases, there is an association of PPFE with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after HSCT, suggesting that PPFE may be another manifestation of pulmonary chronic graft versus host disease after HSCT. Algorithms have been designed to assist in confirming a diagnosis of PPFE without the need for a surgical lung biopsy, however at present, no biomarker is established for the diagnosis or to predict the progression of disease. Presently, there is no current therapy for PPFE, but fortunately the disease progresses slowly in most patients.
