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

Drug-induced lung disease (DILD) encompasses a broad, highly heterogeneous group of conditions that may occur as a result of exposure to numerous agents, such as antineoplastic drugs, conventional or biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, antiarrhythmics, and antibiotics. Between 3% and 5% of prevalent cases of interstitial lung diseases are reported as DILDs. The pathogenesis of lung injury in DILD is variable, multifactorial, and often unknown. Acute presentation is the most common, can occur from days to months after the start of treatment, and ranges from asymptomatic to acute respiratory failure. The CT patterns are varied and include ground-glass opacities, organizing pneumonia, and diffuse alveolar damage. Notably, there are no clinical manifestations or CT patterns specific to DILD, which makes the diagnosis quite challenging and necessitates a high index of suspicion, as well as the exclusion of alternative causes such as infection, cardiac-related pulmonary edema, exacerbation of a preexisting ILD, and neoplastic lung involvement. Discontinuation of the offending medication constitutes the cornerstone of treatment, and corticosteroid treatment is usually necessary after the onset of clinical manifestations. The prognosis varies widely, with high mortality rates in severe cases. A history of medications related to pulmonary toxicity in patients with new-onset respiratory symptoms should prompt consideration of DILD as a potential underlying cause.
