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

Background: This study investigates subclinical radiologic changes in the respiratory system in school cooks with long-term exposure to cooking oil fumes. Methods: Using low-dose chest computed tomography screening data, we compared 88 school cooks to an age- and sex-matched control group of 88 individuals to assess the presence of lung nodules, bronchial wall thickening, and lymph node size variations. Results: The results demonstrated a significantly higher prevalence of solid nodules in cooks (75.0% vs. 33.0%, Conclusion: This study demonstrated that individuals with long-term employment as school cooks exhibited subclinical yet detectable radiologic findings in the lungs.
