Pulmonary hypertension due to silicosis and right upper pulmonary artery occlusion with bronchial anthracofibrosis.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Bronchial anthracofibrosis is a rare disease defined as bronchial stenosis with black pigmentation and usually not associated with artery occlusion. The patient was an 81-year-old man with silicosis. He presented with dyspnea on exertion, and pulmonary hypertension due to right upper pulmonary artery occlusion without thromboembolism was diagnosed on the basis of the results of right heart catheterization and pulmonary angiography. Bronchoscopy demonstrated bronchial anthracofibrosis in the right upper lobe. These findings suggested that the cause of PH was silicosis and pulmonary artery occlusion with bronchial anthracofibrosis. He has been treated with home oxygen therapy and tadalafil, and his symptom and 6MWD remain stable.
