Smoking-related lung abnormalities on computed tomography images: comparison with pathological findings.
Review in Japanese journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Smoking-related lung abnormalities are now an increasing public health concern. According to the findings of large-cohort studies, approximately 8% of smokers have interstitial lung abnormalities, which are associated with a relatively high risk of all-cause mortality. We reviewed the radiological and pathological findings of smoking-related interstitial lung diseases, such as respiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, and airspace enlargement with fibrosis. We have also discussed the histological basis of unclassifiable interstitial pneumonia in smokers, which exhibits airway-centered cystic lesions with fibrosis. A variety of radiological findings coexist in the lungs of a smoker. This overlapping of multiple pathological conditions might cause the radiological patterns of diseases to become unclassifiable. Therefore, diagnosis should be performed not on the basis of a single radiological finding, but in a comprehensive manner, by including clinical symptoms and disease behavior. Among interstitial abnormalities in smokers, the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern is correlated with a worse prognosis than others. Basal-predominant subpleural reticulation is a clue for accurate diagnosis of UIP, which can be achieved by computer-aided quantitative analysis.
