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

The risk of human exposure to fiber nanoparticles has risen in recent years due to increases in the manufacture and utilization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs are present as airborne particulates in occupational settings and their hazard potential has been demonstrated in experimental lung exposure studies using inbred mouse strains. However, it is not known whether different inbred strains differ in lung responses to CNTs by virtue of their genetics. In this work, common inbred strains (BALB/c, C57Bl/6, DBA/2, and C3H/He) were exposed to CNTs via oropharyngeal aspiration and lung histology and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were evaluated over 28days with the objective of evaluating sensitivity/resistance among strains. C57Bl/6 mice developed significantly more extensive type II pneumocyte (T2P) hyperplasia and alveolar infiltrate compared to DBA/2 mice, which were resistant. Surprisingly, DBA/2 but not C57Bl/6 mice were extremely sensitive to increases in leukocytes recovered in BAL fluid. Underlying global gene expression patterns in the two strains were compared using mRNA sequencing to investigate regulatory networks associated with the different effects. The impact of exposure on gene networks regulating various aspects of immune response and cell survival was limited in DBA/2 mice compared to C57Bl/6. Investigation of B6D2F1 (C57Bl/6×DBA/2 hybrid) mice demonstrated inheritance of sensitivity to CNT exposures in regard to toxicologic lung pathology and BAL leukocyte accumulations. These findings demonstrate a genetic basis of susceptibility to CNT particle exposures and both inform the use of inbred mouse models and suggest the likelihood of differences in genetic susceptibility among humans.
