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

The patient was a 66-year-old man who developed exacerbation of respiratory and heart failure that necessitated tracheal intubation. The exacerbation was considered to be largely caused by asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome and type 3 pulmonary hypertension. However, left diaphragmatic eventration and tracheal stenosis were also found. We hypothesized that diaphragmatic eventration and tracheal stenosis surgeries would improve the patient's pulmonary function, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac function. Postoperatively, he recovered well and was discharged home on room air, with a good performance status. He also showed improved pulmonary hypertension on echocardiography and improved pulmonary function test results.
