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

As a well-established human carcinogen, arsenic has increased the risk of lung cancer over the past decades. Wide exposure to arsenic in the environment has attracted the attention of scientists. Its carcinogenicity at early life stages has been observed in certain animal studies already, yet current evidence is insufficient to extrapolate this to humans. Although the mechanisms of lung cancer induced by arsenic remain unclear, most of them are related to the biotransformation of arsenic, which would further provide target sites for precaution and therapy. This review comprehensively summarizes current studies associated to arsenic exposure and lung cancer and the mechanism of its carcinogenesis in lung cancer in three sections, namely, epidemiological studies, experimental studies, and mechanistic studies. In addition, prevention and treatment strategies as well as directions for future studies are discussed.
