Review in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Cancer is one of the leading causes of premature death and overall death in the world. On the other hand, fine particulate matter, which is less than 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter, is a global health problem due to its small diameter but high toxicity. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the positive associations between this pollutant with both lung and non-lung cancer processes. However, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. The present review summarizes and analyzes the most recent findings on the relationship between fine particulate matter and various types of cancer along with the oxidative stress mechanisms as its possible carcinogenic mechanisms. Also, promising antioxidant therapies against cancer induced by this poison factor are discussed.
