Opening the Leontief's black box.
Article in Heliyon, 2018. 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
The paper attempts to reconstruct what goes on inside the black box of the fixed proportions production function underlying the matrix of technical coefficients in the famous Leontief's input-output analysis. The approach is based on an idea that the conversion of inputs to outputs in industrial supply chains occurs in much the same manner as does the conversion of substrates into different molecules in enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions. A bottleneck principle is derived according to which at any moment the steady-state output of a multi-resource, one-product supply chain is completely controlled by a sole, most deficient, factor of production. This dramatic shrinkage of complexity is made possible owing to two key features of the input-output production units comprising the chain: saturated response of the output to the inventory level and weak buffer inventory leakage.
