Artificial stone-associated silicosis: clinical-pathological-radiological correlates of disease.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 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
Occupational lung disease secondary to inhalation of silica particles is variable and potentially life-threatening. As the artificial stone industry has grown over the last two decades, the development of silicosis has been seen to accelerate and behave differently to chronic silicosis. In this case report, we present two patients who underwent lung transplantation for silicosis at the Alfred Hospital, both with predominantly artificial stone masonry exposure. We have identified the presence of both fibrotic/nodular silicosis and conspicuous alveolar proteinosis within the same lung parenchyma of both patients. We then demonstrate the radiological and histopathological correlates of disease; the first time this has been shown clearly in the literature.
