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

We report the case of a man in his late 30s who presented with a history of breathlessness and cough with haemoptysis. Complete blood counts revealed pancytopenia. High-resolution CT showed diffuse bilateral ground glass opacities. Sequential bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed alveolar haemorrhage. Bone marrow aspiration showed vacuoles in erythroid and myeloid precursor cells. The genome was sequenced, and the UBA1 gene revealed a c.121 A>G mutation (p.Met41Val), confirming vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome. The patient was managed with high-dose prednisolone pulse therapy. He improved with the complete resolution of the alveolar haemorrhage and an improvement in lung function and cytopenias.
