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

A 42-year-old man, a coal miner with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, dust exposure, and suspected pneumoconiosis, presented with cough, purulent sputum, and intermittent fever for more than 1 month. Routine sputum bacterial and fungal cultures, as well as acid-fast bacilli smears, were persistently negative. Chest computed tomography revealed markedly distorted bilateral lung architecture with patchy and nodular opacities, multiple irregular cavitary lesions, emphysema, pulmonary bullae, and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. To obtain a definitive diagnosis, a bronchoscopy was safely performed under strict asepsis and painless anesthesia. The procedure showed inflammatory bronchial changes and narrowing of the right upper lobe posterior and dorsal segmental bronchi due to external compression. Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid on the MGI VisionSeq 1000 platform detected
