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

An 83-year-old man presented with chronic dyspnea, and chest X-ray showed bilateral pleural effusion. Right thoracentesis revealed lymphocyte-predominant exudate with no malignancy; bacterial and mycobacterial cultures were negative. Thoracoscopy via the right chest and a biopsy of the same site were performed; these showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and fibrosis, ruling out malignancy or tuberculosis. We decided to start corticosteroid therapy for the diagnosis of idiopathic lymphocytic pleuritis (ILP). The patient was discharged after clinical improvement, and steroids were tapered off. An early diagnosis by thoracoscopy and the exclusion of other diseases are important for initiating steroid therapy in patients with ILP.
