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

Secondary organizing pneumonia (SOP) is defined as a lung disease process caused by pulmonary tissue injury. SOP may rarely occur after influenza A infections, including H1N1 influenza A. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman who was diagnosed with viral pneumonia caused by type A influenza, which was confirmed by nasopharyngeal swab reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Her abnormal chest shadows and oxygen demand did not improve despite antiviral therapy. Given her clinical deterioration, a high-resolution CT of the chest (HRCT-chest) was done, which confirmed SOP. She was managed with methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by a tapering regime in addition to standard treatment. This report underscores the need for physicians to remain vigilant about the possibility of OP even in cases of viral pneumonia.
