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

A 70-year-old man began to cough. Chest X-ray showed a tumor in the center, pleural effusion on the left side, and diffuse granular shadows on the right side. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed bronchial wall thickening and numerous granular shadows. We suspected diffuse panbronchiolitis. Thus, transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) were performed. The tissue size obtained was 1 mm by TBLB and 6 mm at 5 seconds by TBLC. Histological analysis of the TBLB specimen showed lymphocyte infiltration, no fibrosis in Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and no elastic fibers in Elastica van Gieson (EVG) staining. On the other hand, TBLC specimens showed inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis around the bronchioles in HE staining and hypertrophy of elastic fibers in EVG staining. It was diagnosed as diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) from clinical and pathological findings. Cryobiopsy is useful in diagnosing DPB as well as interstitial pneumonia and lung cancer.
