1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Silicosis is an important occupational lung disease caused by exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust particles, with the clinical manifestations from asymptomatic forms to respiratory failure. The main pathological process involves parenchymal lung injury, inflammation and lung tissue fibrosis, but the exact pathogenesis remains elusive. Until now, there have been no effective treatments for silicosis due to the complexity of pathogenesis and irreversibility of pulmonary fibrosis. In this review we attempt to summarize the advances in pathogenesis and treatment of silicosis and to explore the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms involving in the initiation and development of silicosis and potential therapeutic targets.
