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

backgroundIdiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare interstitial lung disease. Glucocorticosteroids and hydroxychloroquine are the most commonly used treatments. Although neuropsychiatric side effects related to hydroxychloroquine use are seen in adult cases, only one paediatric patient has been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 6-year-old girl with IPH, who developed neuropsychiatric symptoms, including restlessness, confusion and myoclonic movements, after the therapeutic use of hydroxychloroquine.

conclusionWith increasing knowledge and experience of interstitial lung disease, the use of hydroxychloroquine treatment is increasing. It is important to remember that hydroxychloroquine is a central nervous system stimulant, and neuropsychiatric side effects may be seen in children. This report highlights the importance of recognising potential neuropsychiatric side effects in paediatric patients using hydroxychloroquine, especially when combined with corticosteroids or other risk factors.
