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: Pneumoconiosis is the most widely distributed occupational disease worldwide. China is currently the largest coal producer and consumer and the country with the most coal miners and cases of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). Despite more than 70 years of effort, the problem of CWP and silicosis remains serious. There is a lack of analysis of direct data on coal miners' pneumoconiosis from all over the country. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of coal miners' pneumoconiosis and reveal some important clues regarding its social determinants. Methods: The annual incidence rate, 20-year prevalence rate, and incidence rate of coal miners' pneumoconiosis per million tons in China from 1949 to 2021 were calculated by using the data of annual number of coal miners' pneumoconiosis diagnosed and reported from the coal mining and dressing industry, the number of coal miners, and the raw coal production, and the relationship between the incident cases of coal miners' pneumoconiosis and the death toll from coal mine safety accidents was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, with the aim of exploring the relationship between the incident cases of coal miners' pneumoconiosis and its social determinants with an ecological study. Results: From 1949 to 2021, there have been more than 462,000 patients with coal miners' pneumoconiosis in China, showing double U-shaped distributions with an increasing trend, accounting for about 50.5% (462,000/915,000) of all diagnosed pneumoconiosis in China, while the incidencet rate of coal miners' pneumoconiosis presents a large W shaped distribution with three peaks over a time span of more than 50 years. From 1949 to 1986, there was a strong correlation between the incident cases of coal miners' pneumoconiosis and raw coal production, the number of coal miners, and the number of deaths from coal mine accidents ( Conclusion: There was a sustained high level of incident cases of coal miners' pneumoconiosis with double U-shaped curve in China, which may be affected by a variety of social determinants and risk factors.
