Coexistence of Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis With Small Cell Lung Cancer in a Man Presenting With Acute Onset Respiratory Failure.

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
A 60-year-old man was referred to our Respiratory Department with progressive dyspnea on exertion and productive cough over the past two months. High-resolution computed tomography showed diffuse ground glass opacities with superimposed interlobular and intralobular septal thickening mainly in the middle and lower lobes, compatible with crazy paving pattern. Serology tests revealed positive antibody transcriptional intermediary factor-γ1 (TIF-1γ) in myositis panel and bronchoalveolar lavage revealed milky appearance and positive periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain. Pulmonary function tests showed moderate reduction in diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. The working diagnosis of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis was established by high detectable levels of anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibodies. Despite clinical and radiological improvement following treatment with whole lung lavage and inhaled sargramostim, patient's follow-up chest computed tomography revealed an enlargement of lower left paratracheal lymph node 4L. Endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) biopsy was compatible with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Chemotherapeutic agents were promptly administrated, with no adverse events up until now.
