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

Idiopathic pulmonary haemorrhage (IPH) is a rare cause of haemoptysis that most commonly presents in children. By definition, this condition is idiopathic in nature, however, exclusion of autoimmune capillaritis creates a diagnostic challenge. If autoimmunity is present, treatment is with immunosuppression. We present a 4-year-old girl with the classic clinical triad of IPH with haemoptysis, bilateral pulmonary infiltrate on chest radiography and iron deficiency anaemia. Her clinical course was complicated by frequent relapses in symptoms and critical pulmonary haemorrhage despite standard treatment for IPH. Successful remission of disease was induced with rituximab despite the absence of serological or lung biopsy evidence of autoimmune capillaritis.
