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

An 83-year-old woman was suspected to have lung cancer in the right lung. However, diffuse opacities only appeared in the left lung, and she was urgently hospitalized due to severe respiratory failure. The opacities in the left lung deteriorated, and she died despite treatments including antibiotics and steroids. An autopsy revealed pleomorphic carcinoma in the right upper lobe, stenosis of the right pulmonary artery due to compression of the right hilar lymph nodes, and diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) throughout the left lobes. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), of which a histological feature is DAD, consists of bilateral opacities in the lungs according to the definition. Unilateral ARDS is extremely rare and has reportedly developed in patients with unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis. The unilateral absence of pulmonary perfusion might be involved in the pathogenesis of unilateral ARDS. In patients with lung cancer, compression of the pulmonary artery may result in unilateral ARDS.
