Secondary Organizing Pneumonia: A Case Report of a Noteworthy Complication of Breast Irradiation.

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.
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
Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a pattern of pulmonary tissue repair injury. It can be cryptogenic or a response to a specific lung injury. Radiation therapy is a potential cause of secondary OP, especially after breast irradiation. The lesions may appear anywhere in the lung parenchyma with no relation to the irradiated side. Corticotherapy is the mainstay of treatment and prognosis is generally favorable. We describe a case of a female patient previously diagnosed with breast cancer who developed secondary OP within six months of postoperative radiotherapy. Initial diagnosis was challenging due to the rarity of the disease as well as management that required close follow-up with careful tapering given the frequent relapses associated with the withdrawal of corticosteroid therapy. The reported case emphasizes the importance of recognizing secondary OP as a rare complication of postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer and puts into view the complexity of its management.
