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
This study aims to determine whether serum sACE and CBC inflammatory markers can be used to diagnose silicosis and assess its severity. 231 subjects referred to Eskişehir City Hospital Occupational Diseases Polyclinic between January 2021 and January 2024 were examined. Groups classified into silicosis (n:131), non-silicosis (n:40), and control groups (n:40). sACE and CBC inflammatory markers were analyzed. ROC curve assessed. sACE levels were markedly elevated (85.19±36.06 U/L) in cases with higher profusion scores and disease categories compared to control and non-silicosis groups. sACE has a high diagnostic value for silicosis detection and severity assessment (AUC:0.810,p=0.001). Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Monocyte/Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR) were significant predictors of advanced silicosis with large opacities (AUC for PLR: 0.796, p=0.001; AUC for MLR: 0.726, p=0.004). Serum ACE and CBC inflammatory indices serve as valuable biomarkers for diagnosing silicosis and determining disease severity.
