Sulphurous thermal water inhalation impacts respiratory metabolic parameters in heavy smokers.
Article in International journal of biometeorology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Sulphurous thermal water inhalations have been traditionally used in the treatment of airway diseases. In vivo and in vitro studies reported that they ameliorate mucus rheology, mucociliary clearance and reduce inflammation. Cigarette smoking induces an inflammatory damage, with consequent remodeling of respiratory airways, which in turn affect pulmonary functions. Despite the anti-inflammatory effects of H
