Effect of smoking on macular function and retinal structure in retinitis pigmentosa.
Article in Brain communications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited neurodegenerative disease of the retina. We investigated smoking as a modifiable environmental factor for the progression of this currently untreatable disease. Clinical data, smoking history, macular function and morphology including visual acuity, visual field sensitivity, ellipsoid zone width and central retinal thickness were investigated. Association between pack × years and these parameters were evaluated using generalized estimating equation models to adjust confounding factors such as age and sex. A total of 410 patients with retinitis pigmentosa (≥20 years old; 209 female) were included, 164 had a smoking history. Patients without smoking history revealed a better visual acuity than smokers (0.39 versus 0.57,
