Aluminosis pneumoconiosis presenting as hyperdense lung nodules.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with new incidentally found hyperdense pulmonary nodules. Further workup with a PET/CT revealed that the nodules were FDG-avid and that there was associated hypermetabolic lymphadenopathy. Due to his history of aluminum toxicity from welding, aluminosis pneumoconiosis was suspected. Biopsy of one of the nodules was done which reinforced this diagnosis. Aluminosis pneumoconiosis is a rare occupational lung disease mostly associated with industrial workers with prolonged unprotected exposure to fine aluminum dust. Prognosis depends on the duration and intensity of exposure, and there is no definitive treatment other than eliminating further exposure.
