Respiratory Diseases in Post-9/11 Military Personnel Following Southwest Asia Deployment.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03035097 (Deployment-Related Lung Disease Research Database and Biorepository), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 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
objectivePersistent respiratory symptoms following post-9/11 military deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan are well-recognized, but the spectrum of respiratory diseases remains poorly characterized. This study describes deployment-related respiratory diseases and the diagnostic utility of resting and exercise pulmonary function testing.
methodsBetween 2009 and 2017, 127 consecutive military workers ("deployers") with new-onset respiratory symptoms underwent clinical evaluation. Deployment-related respiratory diseases were classified as proximal and/or distal. Using descriptive statistics and logistic regression, we analyzed lung function parameters associated with deployment-related distal lung disease (DDLD).
resultsCommon deployment-related respiratory diseases included asthma (31.5%), intermittent laryngeal obstruction (14.2%), rhinosinusitis (15%), and DDLD (68.5%). Decreased diffusion capacity (odds ratio [OR] = 4.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4 to 15.1, P = 0.01) was significantly associated with DDLD.
conclusionsA comprehensive diagnostic approach may identify a spectrum of proximal and distal respiratory diseases that can occur in symptomatic post-9/11 deployers, requiring a personalized approach to care.
