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 article considers the problem of characterizing the type of combined action produced by a mixture of toxic substances with the help of nonlinear response functions. Most attention is given to second-order models: the linear model with a cross-term and the quadratic model. General propositions are formulated based on the data on combined toxicity patterns previously obtained by the Ekaterinburg nanotoxicology team in animal experiments and analyzed with the help of the linear model with a cross-term. It is shown now that the quadratic model features these general characteristics in full measure, but interpretation of combined toxicity types based on isobolograms obtained by the quadratic model is more difficult. This suggests that where both models ensure a comparable quality of combined toxicity type identification, it would be enough to use the linear model with a cross-term.
