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

Flecainide is an antiarrhythmic drug that rarely causes lung injury. We present a case of flecainide-induced lung injury (FILI) that resulted in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and resolved after flecainide discontinuation and corticosteroid treatment. FILI has been shown to occur days to two years after treatment initiation. Our presented case shows that FILI can occur after at least five years of therapy and is the first to show lung injury after a period of flecainide cessation and subsequent re-initiation. Clinical impacts may be large, as flecainide becomes more commonplace in medical pharmacopeia.
