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

Lipoid pneumonia is a rare entity most often associated with inhalation of foreign material (i.e. "fire-eater's lung"), silicone injection, and severe trauma. We present the case of a 61-year old man who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for cholelithiasis. Intensive care supportive therapy included mechanical ventilation, dialysis, and total parenteral nutrition. Unresolved pneumothorax necessitated lobectomy. Histology of the lobectomy specimen demonstrated massive intra-alveolar haemorrhage and numerous alveolar septal macrophages with clear cytoplasmic vacuoles. These findings were diagnostic of interstitial lipoid pneumonia due to intravenous administration of lipid emulsions. The differential diagnosis is also discussed. Although rare, interstitial lipoid pneumonia should be considered in critically ill patients presenting with an interstitial pattern of lung disease after intravenous administration of lipid emulsions.
