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

Pulmonary lophomoniasis is a rare and life-threatening disease, most commonly reported across Asian and Latin American countries. Here, we have reported two cases of pulmonary lophomoniasis presenting with atypical manifestations. Case #1 represents a 19-year-old male patient with clinical characteristics suggestive of tuberculosis, presenting with hemoptysis and receiving antituberculosis treatment. Case #2 represents a 69-year-old man with post-tuberculosis pulmonary disease with cystic bronchiectasis presenting with polymicrobial co-infection. Based on our case experience, lophomoniasis should be considered in patients with pneumonia who do not respond to antibiotic treatment, and the corresponding epidemiological factors should be carefully considered in addition to bronchoscopy for precise diagnosis.
