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

Background: Bronchiolitis obliterans is a serious pulmonary manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Bronchiolitis obliterans is typically treated with a combination of inhaled steroids, azithromycin, montelukast and immunosuppressants. There are no curative treatments other than lung transplant, however, and additional therapies remain an unmet need. Case Presentation: Here we report two patients who developed bronchiolitis obliterans following HSCT. Both developed strong type 2 inflammatory markers including high eosinophil counts ≥ 1000 cells/mm Conclusion: These cases highlight the unmet need for treatment in the bronchiolitis obliterans space and the potential role of type 2 inflammation in their pathogenesis. Given the complex nature of these cases and the infectious risks of immunosuppression, larger studies would be needed to better assess the potential role of dupilumab in this population.
