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
It has been reported that 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) induces liver tumors and to a lesser extent lung lesions, lymphomas and leukemias in CDF(1) mice. Since a number of case control studies have pointed to a positive association between fat consumption and lung cancer, we examined the lung carcinogenic potential of MeIQx treatment concomitant with a high-fat diet using female A/J mice. Groups 1 and 2 were fed a diet supplemented with MeIQx at a concentration of 600 ppm. Groups 1 and 3 received a diet containing 20% corn oil and group 4 was fed the basal diet alone. After 1 week, 10 mice in each group were sacrificed for measurement of cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2 mRNA in the liver and lung. The remaining mice were maintained on their respective diets until termination, 32 weeks after the initial MeIQx treatment, when lung proliferative lesions were analyzed. The incidences and multiplicities of hyperplasias and adenomas in MeIQx-treated groups (groups 1 and 2) were significantly higher than in the groups without MeIQx treatment, with a significant increase in the incidences and multiplicities of adenomas + carcinomas, as well as hyperplasia + adenomas + carcinomas (lung proliferative lesions). Lung carcinomas were observed in 1 mouse in each of the MeIQx-treated groups. However, the high-fat diet (groups 1 and 3) did not affect the incidences or multiplicities of lung proliferative lesions. Expression levels of CYP1A2 mRNA after MeIQx treatment significantly increased >3-fold in livers, but no significant change was noted in the lungs, where levels were very low at 1/210 and 1/923 the values for livers. In conclusion, following a 32-week period, we confirmed the lung tumorigenic potential of MeIQx which possibly occurs due to proximate carcinogens activated by CYP1A2 in the liver. However, we failed to detect any influence of a high-fat diet.
