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

Wildfire smoke is a growing concern due to continually rising exposures and links to numerous adverse health effects. Lipids are essential regulators of cellular health, yet their changes from wildfire smoke remain uncharacterized. To investigate molecular alterations driven by smoke inhalation, a lipidomic analysis of lung tissue from mice exposed to various wildfire simulations was performed. Smoke condensates were generated from three biomasses (pine needle, pine core, and eucalyptus) combusted under flaming (640 °C) and smoldering (500 °C) conditions. Six mouse groups were subjected to the different smoke condensate exposures, in addition to saline and lipopolysaccharide negative and positive control groups. Lung tissues were collected 4 h post-exposure and analyzed using a multidimensional platform coupling liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry. A total of 355 unique lipids were identified. Statistical comparisons between each wildfire condition and negative controls revealed 4-7 significantly altered lipids per condition (p
