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

Silicoanthracosis is a type of fibrotic lung disease resulting from prolonged inhalation of silica particles. The silica particles can trigger an inflammatory response resulting in subsequent fibrotic changes which may lead to anthracotic black pigmentation of the airways or lymph nodes. We present the interesting case of an incidental finding of lymphadenopathy related to silicosis with surprising visible black pigmentation of the biopsied specimen, an important differential diagnosis for visibly pigmented lymph nodes.
