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

A 66-year-old male ex-smoker presented with fatigue and non-productive cough, as well as a 2-year history of ground-glass opacities. Deterioration on chest radiography and increased Krebs von den Lungen-6 levels coincided with the progression of diffuse ground-glass opacities on high-resolution computed tomography. Surgical lung biopsy revealed features consistent with desquamative interstitial pneumonia. Concurrent skin hardening and presence of anti-Scl-70 antibodies supported the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. Treatment with oral corticosteroids proved to be effective, leading to radiographic improvement. The subsequent administration of cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil stabilized disease progression.
