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

In microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD), the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is the most common pattern. We report a rare case of a 71-year-old woman with MPA initially suspected to have non-fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) based on chest computed tomography (CT) findings of diffuse ground-glass opacities, mosaic attenuation, and air trapping. HP was excluded due to the lack of exposure to inhaled antigens, lack of response to inpatient antigen isolation, and absence of lymphocytosis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The diagnosis of MPA was established based on the presence of ILD and renal impairment in combination with elevated myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody levels. This case highlights the rarity of a non-fibrotic HP pattern in MPA and the importance of integrating clinical, radiological, and serological data in evaluating MPA with atypical chest CT imaging.
