The Characteristic of Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy in the Pathological Diagnosis of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.

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
backgroundTransbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has widely used for the diagnosis of diffuse lung disease. However, it remains unclear whether TBLC is useful for the diagnosis in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP).
methodsWe investigated 18 patients who underwent TBLC and were diagnosed with HP based on pathology or multidisciplinary discussion (MDD). Of the 18 patients, 12 had fibrotic HP (fHP), 2 had non-fibrotic HP (non-fHP) diagnosed with MDD. The remaining 4 patients were diagnosed with fHP by pathology but not by MDD because of clinical features. The radiology and pathology of these cases were compared.
resultsAll patients with fHP showed radiological findings of inflammation, fibrosis, and airway disease. Conversely, pathology showed fibrosis and inflammation in 11 of 12 cases (92%), but airway disease was significantly less common with 5 cases (42%) (
conclusionsThe pathology with TBLC is difficult to evaluate airway disease of HP. We need to understand this characteristic of TBLC to make a MDD diagnosis of HP.
