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

Asthma is a disorder that requires imaging to assess disease severity, complications, and atypical presentations. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has become increasingly valuable in identifying imaging features of asthma and structural mimickers. Asthma typically demonstrates bronchial wall thickening, mosaic attenuation, and air trapping. Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is characterized by peripheral ground-glass opacities and consolidations. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis presents with central bronchiectasis, mucus plugging, and high-attenuation mucus. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis reveals nonspecific findings. Excessive central airway collapse is characterized by dynamic tracheal narrowing. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia is marked by multiple small nodules and mosaic attenuation. Recognizing the differences between the aforementioned entities may decrease time to diagnosis and subsequently time to treatment.
