A challenging case of drug-related acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia: A rare case report.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A 65-year-old man presented with intermittent fever and progressive shortness of breath. He responded poorly to antibiotics and corticosteroids (methylprednisolone 40 mg/d). Chest computed tomography scans showed diffuse consolidations and ground glass density patchy opacities in both lungs and these lesions progressed rapidly. The diagnosis of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) was confirmed through transbronchial cryobiopsy. This patient had prostate cancer with bone metastasis for 4 months and took the anti-prostate cancer medications including apalutamide and leuprorelin acetate. Considering his medication history, the patient was diagnosed with AFOP induced by anti-prostate cancer medications through panel discussion of multidisciplinary teams. Intravenous methylprednisolone of 500 mg/day was administered for 3 days and then slowly tapered. The patient's shortness of breath gradually subsided. In addition, the lesions in the lungs improved significantly on follow up imaging. AFOP induced by anti-prostate cancer medications is rare. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case and high-dose glucocorticoid treatment may be required in some of these cases.
