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

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is an uncommon inflammatory lung disease caused by aspiration of lipid substances and may progress to respiratory failure. We report a 4-y-old child who developed respiratory distress following sewing machine oil ingestion. Imaging revealed bilateral consolidation with multiple pneumatoceles complicated by bilateral pneumothoraces requiring intercostal drainage. Despite supportive care and corticosteroid therapy, the child developed respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, and pleurodesis for persistent pneumothoraces. Repeat chest computed tomography demonstrated characteristic fat attenuation suggestive of ELP. In view of persistent respiratory distress and inability to wean off from ventilation, partial bilateral therapeutic lung lavage was performed, yielding milky-white fluid, following which gradual improvement was observed and ventilatory support was successfully weaned.
