Splenic Silicosis Accompanying Chronic Complicated Silicosis: A Rare Systemic Manifestation of Silica Exposure - A Case Report.
Article in Indian journal of occupational and environmental medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Silicosis is an occupational pulmonary disease caused by prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica particles. Although it predominantly affects thoracic structures, extrapulmonary or systemic manifestations are rare. We report a 60-year-old male who worked as a grinder in a quartz mill for 7 years and presented with advanced dyspnea and chronic cough. Imaging revealed bilateral progressive massive fibrosis and radiodense nodules in the spleen. Splenic involvement, also known as splenic silicosis, is an exceptionally rare entity and was detected incidentally during radiological evaluation. This case highlights the potential for systemic dissemination of silica particles and contributes to the limited literature on extrapulmonary silicosis.
