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

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare autoimmune neuropathy, and its association with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is extremely uncommon. Herein, we report the case of a 65-year-old woman with a long-standing history of CIDP who presented with simultaneous relapse of CIDP and acute exacerbation of ILD. The ILD exacerbation was resistant to high-dose corticosteroids, with worsening respiratory symptoms and progressive ground-glass opacities on imaging. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), administered 10 days after steroid initiation, resulted in significant clinical and radiological improvement in both ILD and neuropathy. This is the first reported case of acute exacerbation of CIDP-related ILD successfully treated with IVIG, which suggests a potential relationship between CIDP and ILD and suggests that IVIG may be a viable therapeutic option for steroid-resistant ILD exacerbations in patients with CIDP.
