Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia: Unraveling Recurrent Chest Infections in a Female Patient With a Family History of Atopy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare condition characterized by the infiltration of eosinophils in the lungs. We present a case of eosinophilic pneumonia in a 51-year-old British Caucasian female with a history of lichen sclerosus, deranged liver function tests, and a family history of atopy. The patient presented with fever, shortness of breath, lethargy, dry cough, and weight loss over a three-month period. Initial treatment with antibiotics did not yield improvement, and further investigations revealed marked eosinophilia on blood count. Bronchoscopy and biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia, and the patient responded well to a tapering dose of prednisolone. This study highlights the importance of considering eosinophilic pneumonia in patients with unexplained respiratory symptoms and eosinophilia and emphasizes the role of bronchoscopy in establishing a definitive diagnosis.
