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

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emitted by wood smoke is a significant environmental pollutant associated with oxidative stress and hypoxia. These conditions can disrupt placental function by altering the expression of key nutrient transporters, such as glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2 (SVCT2), which are essential for fetal development. This study evaluates the effects of pregestational and gestational exposure to PM2.5 on GLUT1 and SVCT2 expression in the rat placenta. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to either filtered air (FA) or non-filtered air (NFA) containing PM2.5 from wood combustion in a controlled exposure system. Four experimental groups were established: FA/FA (control), FA/NFA (gestational exposure), NFA/FA (pregestational exposure), and NFA/NFA (continuous exposure). Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy were used to quantify the expression of GLUT1 and SVCT2 in the placental labyrinth zone. Statistical analyses were performed using Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Dunn's test (
