Association between FEV
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe ratio of the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
methodsThe data of participants included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994 and 2007-2012 cycles) were analyzed. Participants aged ≥20 years, who were not pregnant, who underwent quality-controlled lung function tests, and with follow-up data on mortality status were enrolled. The study outcome was all-cause mortality. The participants were grouped by FEV
resultsOverall, 25,501 participants were included. During the median follow up of 308 months, 6431 (25.2%) deaths were recorded. Among all participants, the mean age is 46.3 years, and 48.7% of which were male. In unadjusted model, individuals with an FEV
conclusionOur study first revealed a U-shaped association between the level of FEV CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
