Small airways, big challenge: measuring the unseen?
Article in Nature medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
An imaging technique adapted to differentiate between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease phenotypes can identify small-airway pathophysiology, locate the disease and potentially track disease progression. This approach may be used as a biomarker to identify the small-airway lesion in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, at an individual level in the clinic (pages 1711-1715).
