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

In late 2019, the outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injuries (EVALIs) in the United States demonstrated to the public the potential health risks of vaping. While studies since the outbreak have identified vitamin E acetate (VEA), a diluent of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in vape cartridges, as a potential contributor to lung injuries, the molecular mechanisms through which VEA may cause damage are still unclear. Recent studies have found that the thermal degradation of e-liquids during vaping can result in the formation of products that are more toxic than the parent compounds. In this study, we assessed the role of duroquinone (DQ) in VEA vaping emissions that may act as a mechanism through which VEA vaping causes lung damage. VEA vaping emissions were collected and analyzed for their potential to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce oxidative stress-associated gene expression in human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). Significant ROS generation by VEA vaping emissions was observed in both acellular and cellular systems. Furthermore, exposure to vaping emissions resulted in significant upregulation of
