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

Eosinophilic pneumonia secondary to drug exposure is a recognized but infrequent complication associated with a variety of medications, including oncological therapies. Among immunomodulatory drugs, pulmonary toxicity has been described for thalidomide and lenalidomide but remains a rare complication.Pomalidomide is a third-generation immunomodulatory agent used in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It has been authorized in Europe since 2013. To date, only a limited number of cases of pomalidomide-induced lung injury, and even fewer cases of eosinophilic pneumonia, have been documented in the literature.We present a case of eosinophilic pneumonia attributed to pomalidomide in a 67-year-old patient receiving daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone for relapsed multiple myeloma. The diagnosis was supported by compatible respiratory symptoms and imaging, bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophilia, exclusion of alternative causes, lack of clinical improvement with empirical antibiotics, and rapid improvement after pomalidomide withdrawal and systemic corticosteroid therapy.Prompt recognition of this rare adverse event, discontinuation of pomalidomide, and corticosteroid therapy resulted in rapid clinical and radiological improvement, with sustained pulmonary function recovery at 12-month follow-up.
