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

Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare interstitial pneumonia subtype. Its association with lung cancer remains unclear, with limited reported cases. We present a case of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PPFE after liver transplantation. Eleven years post-transplant, the patient experienced hemopneumothorax, requiring emergency surgery, and received a diagnosis of NSCLC. Although cancer recurrence was not shown, the patient died of an acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia that had spread from both lower lobes 12 months later. In lung cancer with PPFE, considering treatment strategies with careful monitoring of life-threatening complications such as hemopneumothorax and interstitial pneumonia exacerbation is crucial for long-term survival.
