Budesonide versus placebo in high-risk population with screen-detected lung nodules: rationale, design and methodology.
Trial report in Contemporary clinical trials, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00321893 (Randomized Phase II Trial of Budesonide Turbuhaler® 800 Micrograms/Twice Daily Versus Placebo in High-Risk Population With Undetermined Lung Nodules Detected at Screening Low Dose CT Scan), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundScreening-CT is able to discover small peripheral lung nodules. The nature of these nodules is uncertain but it is reasonable that some of them, in particular the non-solid ones, could represent precancerous lesions. A previous trial showed a reduction in size of peripheral nodules by inhaled budesonide in subjects with bronchial dysplasia.
objectiveThe primary objective of the study was the evaluation of the effect of budesonide as a chemopreventive agent for lung lesions. The primary endpoint was the modification of lung lesions at ld-CT scan (according to RECIST criteria) after one year of treatment in a person-specific analysis.
methodsWe performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial to evaluate whether inhaled budesonide was able to reduce size and number of persistent, undetermined CT-detected lung nodules in high-risk asymptomatic subjects currently undergoing a five-year CT scan screening program at the European Institute of Oncology.
resultsTrial enrollment started in April 2006 and ended in July 2007 with the randomization of 202 current or former smokers with stable CT-detected lung nodules set to receive budesonide 800 μg or placebo twice daily for 12 months.
conclusionOur trial represents the first phase II study of a chemopreventive intervention focusing on the peripheral lung, where the majority of lung cancers arise. The research was nested into a screening project with clear advantages in participant accrual and reduction of costs. This paper describes the rationale and design of the study, thus focusing on the methodology and operational aspects of the clinical trial. (Clinicaltrials.gov number. NCT00321893).
