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

Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are promoted as reduced-risk alternatives to combustible tobacco cigarettes (TCs), yet toxicant exposure reduction and associated health benefits remain uncertain. We evaluated preclinical and interventional clinical studies comparing HTPs with TCs, focusing on aerosol composition, toxicological exposure, and harm biomarkers. A systematic PubMed search identified 1105 peer-reviewed articles published between January 2017 and October 2024. Studies were screened using validated MeSH terms and commercial brand names. Forty-three articles met inclusion criteria, reporting standardized aerosol characterization,
