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 light chain deposition disease is a rare entity characterized by immunoglobulin deposition within the lung parenchyma with pathologic features distinct from pulmonary amyloidosis. Here, the authors present the clinical presentation, associations, and radiologic features of pulmonary light chain deposition disease in a series of 4 patients as well as discuss the distinctions from amyloidosis. The present case series highlights the frequent presence of both cysts and nodules at CT. Clinically, lymphoma and/or autoimmune disease are often associated.
