Severe chemical pneumonitis by vanadium pentoxide responded well to aggressive steroid therapy.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The optimal treatment of acute chemical pneumonitis remains controversial. Here we report a healthy man with severe chemical pneumonitis caused by accidental inhalation of vanadium pentoxide. He presented with acute respiratory distress and received aggressive steroid therapy on arrival. Pulmonary symptoms and chest X-ray were improved dramatically the next day. The beneficial effect of steroid therapy for such a critical patient may outweigh the infection risk following inhalation of relative sterile material. We suggest early and aggressive steroid therapy may help shorten the disease course.
