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

Introduction: Apomorphine is a potent dopaminergic agonist widely used in the management of motor fluctuations in advanced Parkinson's disease. Although generally well tolerated, rare pulmonary adverse drug reactions (ADRs) may occur. We report a case of probable apomorphine-induced pneumonitis associated with subcutaneous administration. Case presentation: A 62-year-old Caucasian male with multiple comorbidities presented to the emergency department with headache, non-productive cough, central chest pain, fever, and dyspnea over the past 48 hours Conclusion: The temporal relationship between apomorphine initiation and symptom onset, compatible clinical and radiological findings, extensive microbiological exclusion of infectious causes, and favorable response after drug withdrawal and corticosteroid therapy supported the diagnosis of probable apomorphine-induced pneumonitis.
