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

We describe the case of a middle-aged male who presented with incidental findings of a left retrocardiac opacity seen on a chest radiograph. Subsequent computed tomography (CT) of the thorax showed multiple subpleural lesions with central necrosis. A diagnosis of acute fibrinous organizing pneumonia was made histologically upon biopsy of the subpleural lesions. The patient responded well to steroids, with full resolution of the subpleural lesions on repeat CT of the thorax. This report illustrates a case of acute fibrinous organizing pneumonia wherein the patient responded well to corticosteroids.
