Heterogeneous burden of lung disease in smokers with borderline airflow obstruction.
Article in Respiratory research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01969344 (Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe identification of smoking-related lung disease in current and former smokers with normal FEV
methodsWe compared spirometry, chest CT characteristics, and symptoms between 161 ever-smokers in the discordant group and 940 ever-smokers and 190 never-smokers with normal FEV
resultsThe discordant group had more CT defined emphysema and non-emphysematous gas trapping, lower post-bronchodilator FEV
conclusionsEver-smokers with normal FEV
