Sarcoid-like Granulomatous Lung Disease with Subacute Progression in Silicosis.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with cough and fatigue. He had had long-term exposure to silica due to cement processing. Chest computed tomography showed bilateral centrilobular nodules, and hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy with calcification, suggesting chronic silicosis. Within a few months, these nodules enlarged, and bilateral patchy consolidations appeared. A lung biopsy revealed sarcoid-like granulomas with birefringent particles under polarized light without malignancy or infection. He was diagnosed with silicosis-associated sarcoid-like granulomatous lung disease, rather than sarcoidosis, according to the clinicopathological findings. His pulmonary manifestations improved after the discontinuation of silica exposure and combination therapy of corticosteroid and azathioprine.
