Ventilation/Perfusion Matching: Of Myths, Mice, and Men.
Review in Physiology (Bethesda, Md.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite a huge range in lung size between species, there is little measured difference in the ability of the lung to provide a well-matched air flow (ventilation) to blood flow (perfusion) at the gas exchange tissue. Here, we consider the remarkable similarities in ventilation/perfusion matching between species through a biophysical lens and consider evidence that matching in large animals is dominated by gravity but in small animals by structure.
