The Paradox of Metachronous Lipoid Pneumonia.

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.
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 70-year-old female patient diagnosed with stage IV EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer experienced three distinct instances of exogenous lipoid pneumonia while undergoing chemotherapy. Chest CT consistently revealed ground-glass opacities with a crazy-paving pattern, and bronchoscopy confirmed the presence of lipid-laden, CD163-positive foamy macrophages. It is noteworthy that each episode was associated with a distinct exogenous exposure: intranasal administration of petroleum jelly, prolonged utilisation of a kerosene heater, and subsequently, intranasal application of Junma Moisturising Oil. The localisation of all episodes to the right middle lobe was noted, and resolution was attained with the cessation of the offending agent. This is the first reported case of recurrent exogenous lipoid pneumonia in a single patient caused by multiple unrelated substances. This case underscores the diagnostic value of radiologic patterns, the significance of meticulous exposure history, and the necessity of contemplating alternative aetiologies in patients with new infiltrates during cancer therapy.
