Nintedanib for the treatment of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis. A Case Report.
Article in Heliyon, 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
Radiation induced pneumonitis is a common side effect of thoracic radiotherapy. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with symptomatic radiation pneumonitis and a serious contra-indication for corticosteroids. For that reason, the patient was treated with nintedanib instead. After several weeks of treatment her symptoms and chest CT improved significantly. This case shows that nintedanib might be an effective treatment of radiation pneumonitis if corticosteroids are contra-indicated.
