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 59-year-old man presented with esophageal achalasia complicated by lipoid pneumonia. Dysphagia and diffuse ground-glass shadows on computed tomography led to the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia. An analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) revealed yellow BAL fluid, with two distinct layers. Oil droplets were observed in the upper layer. Macrophages that phagocytosed lipids were also observed. He was diagnosed with lipoid pneumonia secondary to esophageal achalasia. His lipoid pneumonia improved after peroral endoscopic myotomy because of the reduction in aspiration risk.
