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

Humidifier lung is a subtype of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) triggered by repeated exposure to an antigen. The mainstay of therapy is antigen avoidance. A Caucasian male in his 30s presented with a six-month history of progressively worsening dyspnea and cough. On presentation, he was hypoxic on room air. Laboratory work was significant for a leukocytosis and a CT angiogram of the chest demonstrated diffuse ill-defined ground-glass opacities in both lungs. The patient was admitted for community-acquired pneumonia, but his symptoms worsened, so additional infectious and rheumatological work-up was obtained. History revealed the patient used a home humidifier daily for the past year. Cultures obtained from the humidifier grew
