Chlorine-Induced Lung Injury From Hot Tub Exposure.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chlorine, a dense and irritating gas used in pool disinfection, can cause severe respiratory issues, including airway damage, alveolar injury, pulmonary edema, and chronic conditions such as bronchiolitis obliterans. This case study describes a patient initially thought to have hot tub lung (HTL) due to symptoms, hot tub use, and imaging findings. However, negative Mycobacterium tests and significant chlorine exposure led to a revised diagnosis of chlorine-induced lung injury. The diagnosis was further supported by the patient's clinical improvement and prior normal lung scans.
