The Effects of Jet Fuel Exposure on the Innate and Adaptive Immune Systems: A Fit-for-Purpose Systematic Literature Review.
Synthesis in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to understand the immune health effects of jet fuels used by the US military.
methodsA systematic review of epidemiologic, animal toxicological, and mechanistic studies was conducted to assess evidence on immune effects following jet fuel exposure. Data were synthesized to evaluate evidence for specific immune health outcomes.
resultsAnimal toxicological studies provided moderate evidence that jet fuel exposure causes immune suppression and adversely impacts the immune system by altering immune organ weight, cellularity, and cellular function. Adverse changes were observed predominantly within the adaptive immune system, particularly T cells. There was indeterminate epidemiologic evidence that jet fuel exposure caused immune effects in humans.
conclusionsEvidence indicates that jet fuel exposure is likely to produce adverse immune effects, particularly in the adaptive immune system. Critical data gaps remain regarding impacts on host resistance, neoplastic disease, and autoimmune disorders.
