Small airways dysfunction in patients with systemic sclerosis and interstitial lung disease.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. 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
Background: A number of studies report small airways involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Furthermore, small airways dysfunction is increasingly recognized in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) of idiopathic or autoimmune etiology. The objectives of this study were to evaluate small airways function in SSc patients with ILD and explore the effect of treatment on small airways function by using conventional and contemporary pulmonary function tests (PFTs). Methods: This single-center, prospective, observational study included a total of 35 SSc patients, with and without ILD based on HRCT scan, evaluated by a special radiologist blindly. Clinical data were collected from all patients who were also assessed for HRCT findings of small airways disease. Small airways function was assessed by classic spirometry, measurement of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, body plethysmography, single breath nitrogen washout (N Results: Phase III slope Conclusion: Phase III slope
