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

Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) are utilized in many applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. The increasing use of ENMs in consumer products raises concerns of potential adverse effects in humans and the environment. A common outcome of exposure (intentional, environmental or occupational) to ENMs is altered immune responses including inflammation, hypersensitivity, and immunosuppression. ENMs have been shown to interact with the immune system through key effector cells (i.e. mast cells and antigen presenting cells) or via complement activation leading to consequences to both innate and adaptive immunity. Further, upon introduction into a biological system, ENMs are rapidly coated with proteins, lipids and other macromolecules forming a biocorona which impacts immune cell and complement responses. In this current opinion, we highlight key studies and challenges in understanding cellular mechanisms of ENM-mediated immunomodulation and toxicity.
