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: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease responsible for causing various health problems. Obese individuals experience disrupted homeostasis, thus making them more vulnerable to environmental pollutants. This study investigated the effect of pre-existing obesity on respiratory toxicity and explored whether sex differences exist in the response to titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO Methods: Male and female mice were fed a normal diet (ND) or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 26 weeks and then intratracheally instilled with TiO Results: In HFD-fed obese mice, TiO Conclusion: Our findings suggest an increased risk of respiratory toxicity in individuals with pre-existing obesity and highlight that these effects are sex-specific.
