Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Caused by Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is an autoimmune overlap condition characterized by features of systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, and polymyositis, frequently involving pulmonary manifestations. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of its most serious complications and may present acutely with hypoxemic respiratory failure. Among the ILD patterns associated with MCTD, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) predominates and is characterized by diffuse ground-glass opacities, reticulation, and potential responsiveness to early immunosuppressive therapy. We describe a 42-year-old male active-duty service member who presented with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and was ultimately diagnosed with MCTD-associated NSIP following bronchoscopy and confirmatory serologies. He demonstrated marked clinical and radiographic improvement after receiving high-dose corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil. This case highlights the importance of considering autoimmune ILD in patients with diffuse pulmonary opacities and unexplained hypoxemia.
