Critical deterioration of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia during pregnancy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. 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
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is a rare, idiopathic interstitial lung disease characterised by the accumulation of eosinophils in the pulmonary interstitia and alveoli. Patients with CEP respond well to systemic corticosteroid therapy and infrequently progress to end-stage lung disease. We report a case of a woman in her 40s with previously stable, steroid-responsive CEP who experienced a critical deterioration of her CEP at 25 weeks of gestation during her third pregnancy. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit due to respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Follow-up investigation revealed advanced fibrotic lung disease requiring long-term oxygen therapy and referral for double lung transplantation. While CEP infrequently advances to permanent parenchymal damage, this case demonstrates the potential for severe exacerbations in the setting of pregnancy and highlights pregnancy as a potential risk factor for disease progression, reinforcing the need for further research to define optimal monitoring and treatment strategies.
