Environmental and occupational bronchiolitis obliterans: new reality.
Review in EBioMedicine, 2023. 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
Patients diagnosed with environmental/occupational bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) over the last 2 decades often present with an indolent evolution of respiratory symptoms without a history of high-level, acute exposure to airborne toxins. Exertional dyspnea is the most common symptom and standard clinical and radiographic evaluation can be non-diagnostic. Lung biopsies often reveal pathological abnormalities affecting all distal lung compartments. These modern cases of BO typically exhibit the constrictive bronchiolitis phenotype of small airway remodeling, along with lymphocytic inflammation. In addition, hypertensive-type remodeling of intrapulmonary vasculature, diffuse fibroelastosis of alveolar tissue, and fibrous thickening of visceral pleura are frequently present. The diagnosis of environmental/occupational BO should be considered in patients who present with subacute onset of exertional dyspnea and a history compatible with prolonged or recurrent exposure to environmental toxins. Important areas for future studies include development of less invasive diagnostic approaches and testing of novel agents for disease prevention and treatment.
