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

An 83-year-old male was hospitalized with pneumonia while receiving azacitidine for myelodysplastic syndrome. Despite treatment with antimicrobial agents, his pneumonia worsened. Bronchoscopy revealed organizing pneumonia (OP). This condition was thought to be a drug-induced lung injury caused by azacitidine. As the patient had no subjective symptoms, antimicrobial therapy was discontinued and the patient was monitored closely. Thereafter, the pneumonia gradually improved. Drug-induced lung injury caused by azacitidine, which has few subjective symptoms, can be treated without steroids. However, it should be noted that the condition may become resistant to steroid therapy if it progresses to acute interstitial pneumonia or if azacitidine treatment is continued.
